Thanks. Now it looks like this: stat's --format=FMT option now works the way it did before 5.3.0: FMT is automatically newline terminated. The first stable release containing this change was 5.92. stat accepts the new option --printf=PFMT, where PFMT is *not* automatically newline terminated. Backslash escapes in PFMT *are* interpreted. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
