Thanks for the report, Markus.  Indeed it has already been fixed.  Probably a duplicate of bug #13920.  Closing.

This has apparently been fixed in CVS:

$ src/grep -wF '12
45' in.txt
12
45
12
45
$ src/grep -wFf patterns.txt in.txt
12
45
12
45

Hi,

checkout the commands below, containing 5 calls into grep. In my environment ("grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1") the two calls have wrong results:

# Begin of shell commands
echo '12
45
456 no word match for 45
12
45' > in.txt
echo '12
45' > patterns.txt
# 1) Works, emitting 12 45 12 45:
grep -wE '(12)|(45)' in.txt
# 2) Works, emitting 12 45 12 45:
grep -w '12
45' in.txt
# 3) Fails, emitting only 12 45:
grep -wF '12
45' in.txt
# 4) Works, emitting 12 45 12 45:
grep -wf patterns.txt in.txt
# 5) Fails, emitting only 12 45:
grep -wFf patterns.txt in.txt
# End of shell commands

AFICS, the symptom is that after the 1st non-word-match ("456") it stops matching other correct word-matches.


Regards,
Markus Mauhart.
