<p>I see, I must have miss the line at that time, while I desperately wanted to match the newline without looking. But I didn't know that this behavior is normal for CLI tools like <code>grep</code> or <code>sed</code>, since many editors like <code>gedit</code> or <code>vim</code> match newlines per default (a behavior I actually expected).</p>
<p>Because this post is quite old already, I even forgot this issue myself, so, since this seems to be rather a feature than an issue, I'll just close this issue for good then. But nevertheless, thank you for the insight of this option and sorry for triggering this as an issue.</p>
