Anyway, by agreement (with myself), i've stopped on having per-file-name division (prev. message first patch, and that was last design remaining from cleanfile/cleanpatch). So: for f in $* do clean-whitespace $f 21 /dev/null done But this doesn't look like interactive usage, which i've concluded. Plus copy is saved in $f.clean file, so user can `diff -u` to see any destruction and possibly report a bug. [] - scan whole file for long lines, with useless bunch of messages about ones. Useless, because script doesn't fix that, it can't do that! Still useful to let the human know what is going on, and why. What i've done was `cleanpatch patch-2.6.21-rc4-rc5` That's where usefulness comes from ;) -hpa - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Many things in XXI century still can be done by tools founded 20-30 years ago. Why not try to?

In many cases i think, it's limiting one's imagination and expanding laziness[0]. In the school algebra (usually) there are many exercises with plain-useless equations and formulas you must solve or simplify. Guess why? Thus my proposition. ;) --- [0] Now, when most UNIX tools done with good quality (courtesy of the GNU project), it's time not to convert programmer's laziness[1] to ordinary one. Why there's one big and slow Bourne again shell, yet to have fast ([d]ash) and tiny one took more time? As result more efforts to remove bashizms...
