I can't reproduce the problem, either with uniq (GNU textutils) 2.0 or with uniq (coreutils) 5.0.1. Here's how I tried to reproduce it: $ cat folderlist 04-00-0002287 $ cat allfolders 04-00-0002287 04-00-0002287 $ cat folderlist allfolders | sort | uniq -u The last command didn't output anything, which was what was expected. Does the 'sort' command actually ensure that all instances of the 04-00-0002287 line are adjacent in its output? That might explain the problem; i.e., it might be a problem with 'sort', not with 'uniq'. When you say "the latest uniq", are you talking about the latest test version <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.1.tar.gz>? Or is it some other version? It could be a problem with your locale. What is the output of the "locale" command? coreutils 5.0.1 "uniq" reports an error if it detects that the locale is misconfigured; this doesn't suffice to detect all locale bugs but it's better than nothing. Perhaps you can give that version a try. Another possibility is to fix the locale misconfiguration by setting LC_ALL="C" in your environment. Perhaps we need your exact test data; can you make it available? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
