textutils is now part of coreutils, and the latest version is 5.96. Yes, you will need to install it before you can use it. GNU/Linux systems typically come with coreutils pre-installed, but for other operating systems, the GNU tools are add-ons. If you look in the right places, you can often find pre-compiled binaries for your platform, rather than having to download the source and compile it yourself (this is particularly true for Windows, where the typical machine does not include a compiler by default). > > I like to use the textutil-funktions as a subfunction in a windows shell > sript - is ths possible? Yes. As Bob pointed out, cygwin is a good example of this (it also includes a compiler, if you wanted to build coreutils from source). Another Windows port is that you may be interested in would be mingw32. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
