Erm... -c is for plain bytes while -X should just count the number of bytes not covered by -m/-C. AFAIK all "wc" counting options count independently (e.g. -c/-m/-w/-l can all be used in one command line (at least with GNU "wc"... AST "wc" doesn't like having both -c and -m at the same command line)) ... -X would be an exception because i basically "feeds on the remainder" of -m/-C ... > Would the output contain the other count or just the invalid character count? It is the count of _bytes_ which do not make a valid multibyte character (technically it can happen in the "C"/"POSIX" locales, too... since both only cover bytes 0-127... making 128-255 invalid character values). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list ast-developers@research.att.com https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
