Grep 命令报错Binary file xxx.log matches

​

使用file 命令查看

root@4a1558e4b580:/# file /var/log/dc_project/dash_api_service.log
/var/log/dc_project/dash_api_service.log: ASCII text, with very long lines, with no line terminators

所以被识别为二进制是因为含有类似的字符，这时可以加上 -a 参数来让强制识别为文本。

​The reason why grep matches “>>>>>>>>>>>>” in the file even though file reports it as ASCII text is because the file might contain binary-like content or non-standard line terminators. Here’s a breakdown of the situation and what you can do to analyze or handle it:

Why grep Reports as a Binary File

• The file command states that the file is ASCII text, but with “very long lines” and “no line terminators.” This means:
  • The file does not contain standard line breaks (\n), or they are sparse.
  • The long lines and possible non-standard characters could make grep interpret the file as binary, especially if it encounters non-printable characters or null bytes (\x00).
