echo foo |uniq -c outputs: 1\tfoo
however, it seems like on other unix systems (e.g. tru64) uniq -c output a space instead of a tab. i'm running version: uniq --version uniq (textutils) 2.0.14 at least the online documentation should say that this is so. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
