Good morning, I am seeing an aberrant behavior from the /usr/bin/paste utility when working with Windows-style CR/LF text files. The repro is for Mint Mate (Virginia).
If I change the line endings in the first file to Unix format (LF), it works as expected. If I change the line endings to Max (CR), it breaks even worse. $ hexdump -C letters.txt 00000000 61 61 09 41 41 0d 0a 62 62 09 42 42 0d 0a |aa.AA..bb.BB..| $ cat letters.txt aa AA bb BB $ cat numbers.txt 1 2 $ paste letters.txt numbers.txt aa 1A bb 2B $ Expected: $ paste letters.txt numbers.txt aa AA 1 bb BB 2 Thank you.
