Title:
cut gets confused with UTF-8 characters
Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: coreutils
GNU cut gets confused about character boundaries with UTF-8 encoded
files.
An example, as they (almost) say, is worth a thousand words:
nslater@hinata: ~ $ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
nslater@hinata: ~ $ cat foo.txt
She said “I think I found a bug.”
nslater@hinata: ~ $ cat foo.txt | cut --characters 10-
“I think I found a bug.”
nslater@hinata: ~ $ cat foo.txt | cut --characters 11-
��I think I found a bug.”
nslater@hinata: ~ $ cat foo.txt | cut --characters 12-
�I think I found a bug.”
nslater@hinata: ~ $ cat foo.txt | cut --characters 13-
I think I found a bug.”
