Can cygwin programs like grep process a unicode file?
I have a Windows 2000 backup log file which seems to be a unicode file.
When I cat the file under cygwin it displays with spaces between every
second character: e.g.
ÿ_B a c k u p S t a t u s
O p e r a t i o n : B a c k u p
A c t i v e b a c k u p d e s t i n a t i o n : 4 m m D D S
M e d i a n a m e : " T S C 4 - 2 0 0 3 - 0 1 - 1 3 - 2 - 3 5 p "
When I cat in under linux it displays as a normal text file. I have a
script which grep's for particular patterns and emails matching lines, but
it won't work with these log files.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Clancy Malcolm
