Hello Emmanuel, > > I'd like to submit the following bug: > > % ls -1 * | nl --first-page=2 A bit of overkill. When stdout of ls is not a terminal, then the -1 option is redundant. And globbing * can run into command line length limitations, which are avoided if you use a listing of . (or the implicit default of ls). In other words, this is equivalent: ls | nl --first-page=2 > nl: unrecognized option `--first-paeg=2' Are you sure you copied and pasted this correctly? Your command line claims you spelled "--first-page", but the error claims you spelled "--first-paeg". However, this bug has been previously reported, and fixed here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=26d3d You should consider upgrading to coreutils 7.1, the latest stable version, where the option is correctly documented as being spelled - --starting-line-number. Meanwhile, you can still use that spelling (even though it is undocumented) in your current version, or go with the short option -v. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
