Did you mean to use -k1,1 instead of -k1? Otherwise, you are stating that the key begins with the first field, but continues through the end of the line (with the field separators ignored), and since ' ' comes before '#', the output looked correct to me. Using -k1,1 swaps the line to list #2 first. -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well! Eric Blake [EMAIL PROTECTED]
