Hey Denys: any interest in adding cut -DF compatible with the toybox ones? https://landley.net/toybox/help.html#cut Ala "cut -DF 3-5" selects words like awk '{print $3" "$4" "$5}' and the test case in https://github.com/landley/toybox/blob/master/tests/cut.test#L40 is doing "cut -DF 2,7,5" to show order is preserved. (I also added -C and -O and some other stuff, but -DF is the important bit there's interested in standardizing.) Rob P.S. Sigh, they've added -z to coreutils. I should add -z too... _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
