That doesn't look like a bug to me. For example, the first line of hints.txt contains
1 . <SPACE> <TAB> T so there are three columns before the tab, which means that expand -t1 and expand -t2 should behave the same. Perhaps you didn't notice the <SPACE>? _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
