[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Is it possible to output symbols which constitute non-matched parts of
text? For instance, I expect

printf "banana\napple" | grep --invert-match --only-matching 'ban'

to produce

ana
apple

or

apple

, but it doesn't produce anything.

I need -o because I grep multiline pattern with -z.
