Hmm, I don't get that behavior with coreutils 5.2.1: $ printf '\1\1[ header]\nline 2\nline 3\nline 4\n' >foo 1001-penguin $ cat foo | head -n 3 ^A^A[ header] line 2 line 3 (Note that "head -3" is obsolete and won't work on a POSIX 1003.1-2001 system.) _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
