Thank you for the report, but that is not a bug. The input files must be sorted on the respective fields used to perform the join operation, and neither of those files is properly sorted. Since I see you've used a TAB to separate the fields, you should sort each of those files using `sort -k2,2b'. Then your command would produce this output: g c 2 _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
