The restriction is valid. You want `uniq -dc` IMHO more restrictions should be added. Adding -u to -d or -D just suppresses the last item of each group. These options are meaningless anyway: uniq -ud ≡ uniq's default mode of operation uniq -uD ≡ cat Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
