Well you could put the data through tr -s ' ' beforehand? Actually I'm working on a major revamp in this area across all of textutils, so that they all have the same parameters for field selection and record and field seperators (which could be regular expressions (well see)). btw adding new short options is deprecated AFAICT. cheers, Padraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
