Actually, it does not exactly do the same thing. The interesting feature of print without --raw is that it aligns the columns of numbers nicely. but it converts 'h' to minutes as described before. With the --raw it mostly does not touch the file's formatting.
so I ask again: besides me using 'hr' instead of 'h', is there a way to tell it to keep hours where I have them *or specify a default unit that I want) while still do the rest of the formatting ? --pascal On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 10:22 PM, Pascal Fleury <pas...@telefleuries.com>wrote: > Indeed it does.
