The CVS version of coreutils <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/coreutils/> says this in its Texinfo documentation: The commands @code{sort -u} and @code{sort | uniq} are equivalent, but this equivalence does not extend to arbitrary @command{sort} options. For example, @code{sort -n -u} inspects only the value of the initial numeric string when checking for uniqueness, whereas @code{sort -n | uniq} inspects the entire line. @xref{uniq invocation}. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
