File a: 10 A 1 B File b: 1
$ join b a <nada> $ join -v 1 d c 1 files a & b are both sorted lexicographically (according to 'sort', anyway). The problem is that the join lexicographic '<' operator disagrees with sort's. Sorry if this bug has been found like a thousand times before, couldn't find it via 30s of googling. Brannon
