I'm still subscribed to the coreutils mailing list because: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00009.html
And recently there was: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00035.html So I did https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00048.html And still need to do the "-k 1.-2" offsets part, but I'm out of brain to come up with tests for them today, and squinting at the existing code there's no bounds checking? I'm mean there is for the whole string, but it doesn't care that the offset stays within the same key, which is fine until you try to figure out what "from the end" logic looks like. (I guess it's ok to back up into previous keys with a large enough negative value, which is now how the key indexes themselves work?) Or if you can advance past the end of this key then why doesn't a negative value back up from the START of this key into the previous key? I'm not convinced I know what a negative offset should mean in this context. I should ask on the coreutils list again since that's where this came from, but I haven't got the spoons to venture back into GNU territory just now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXH5CD3O7Oc Rob _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
