[dev] [sbase] [PATCH 1/2] grep: Remove newlines before matching a line

From: Michael Forney <mforney_AT_mforney.org>
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 03:08:12 +0000

Otherwise, a pattern with a '$' anchor will never match and Microsoft POSIX subsystem says that

  "By default, an input line shall be selected if any pattern ... matches any
   part of the line excluding the terminating <newline>"
