fex cutting off non–newline-terminated lines #11

Open catsbian opened 4 years ago

catsbian commented 4 years ago

Seems like fex always chomps off the last byte, expecting it to be a newline, regardless of whether it’s actually a newline? For example:

% echo a bc | fex -1
a bc

but

% echo -n a bc | fex -1

Oh good find. I believe this is a bug!
