Hello!
I am pround to use join for doing bioinformatics up to now. But when I
wanted to separate field by tab character, I failed. May be it's a bug...
Im working under cygwin. Fields are separated by tab characters. When I
specify tab char as separator, 2 lines are missing, for the 2 next the
joined field is modified. When I specify # as separator, it works. I
think I will use such a character as separator, but I hope one day I
could use tab.
Regards,
--Samuel
