What were you trying to do?
dsgrep -n 1000 -e Disk -a -v -i f_l
What's wrong:
Nothing was found, eventhough there was a message in the list with Disk
in the title. I found that if I specify 'disk' instead of 'Disk' in the
above expression it finds the message. This means that the -i option has
no impact on the expression - only on the material. I would think it
is a good idea to have the -i option effect the search material and the
search expression. Otherwise every time you use the -i option
if you have a capital letter in your search expression nothing will be found.
What should have happened:
As stated above, it would work much better if the -i option effected
both the search expression as well as the search material.
