I think there is a bug in "sort" utility from the latest utility set coreutils-5.2.1 .
When I sort a file by the second character in first field I have to refer to the second character as to character number "1" (command "sort 0.1 filename"). But when I want to sort a file by the second character in second (or higher) field I need to refer to the second character as to character number "2" (command "sort 1.2 filename"). I've made some more experiments with the third, fourth,... characters, and found that the counting of characters in the first field begins with 0, but the counting of characters in other fields begin with 1. I would like to hear your opinion Tal Vainshtein _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
