Subject: [9fans] anchors broken in the g command in sam on p9p?
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2013 05:11:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <861u5nbpbe.fsf@cmarib.ramside> (raw)

Maybe someone here can help me make sense of this simple sam session:

,c
this is a file, one of
many files with singular
and/or plurals
.
,y/ / g/.+s$/ p
plurals

I would expect that to have responded with "thisfilesplurals".
According to the docs, g/.+s$/ should check that dot ends with "s".

,y/ / g/^[ao].*/ p
singular
and/or

I would have thought that would return "aoneof".

It looks as if ^ and $ are acting as \n.

What am I missing?
