uniq --check-fields=N

[Jonathan Sambrook]

Hi,

The 'uniq' command has:

  -f, --skip-fields=N   avoid comparing the first N fields
  -s, --skip-chars=N    avoid comparing the first N characters

and:

  -w, --check-chars=N   compare no more than N characters in lines

but no:

  -W, --check-fields=N  compare no more than N fields in lines

Could this be added please?

Thanks for considering this request.

Regards,
Jonathan
