Hello, I get an unexpected result when I use
pr -t -l 60 -w 75 +x:y Somefile where Somefile is 300 lines long, and x and y are integers such that 1<=x<=y<=5. All the headers are absent, but the part of the file from line (x-1)*60+1 to line 300 is written to standard output for *any* such integer pair (x,y) in the interval [1,5]. I expected that only lines (x-1)*60+1 to y*60 (y-x+1 pages) would be written to standard output. There are y-x+1 pages in the output when I use "pr -l 60 -w 75 +x:y Somefile" which adds headers and trailers. But then less of the original text is included on each page of output to make up for the added headers - something I'd like to avoid. Is that the way pr is supposed to work with the -t option or is it a bug? This occurs when using pr from either textutils 2.0 or 2.0.21, with the kernel 2.4.18 and libc 2.1.3 (glibc). Thanks for whatever information you can provide. --- Clifford Kite http://users3.ev1.net/~ckite/public_html/ corncob: Uptime 34 days 15 hours 27 minutes _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
