Thanks for the patch. What is the use case? I mean, if one wants only the numeric numbers, then this is usually in a script for automatic processing, and then I thinks it's clearer to have uid and group/groups separated: $ id -u 1000 $ id -g 100 $ id -G 100 454 457 480 492 There's even a -z option to separate by NULs instead of white space. And, when still needing all in the same output, one could filter like e.g.: $ id | sed 's/([^)]*)//g' uid=1000 gid=100 groups=100,454,457,480,492 So I'm currently 40:60 to add it. Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
