Huh, never new about '--in-place' (sure wish I did!). But what is 'recode'? I don't seem to have a "recode", nor do I see anything about "recode" in sed. Did you mean iconv? (Maybe the real answer is 'coreutils already has d2u and friends, they just aren't obvious'?)
www.gnu.org/s/recode ...and what about --keepdate? :-) I think that a program to make it easy to _other_ programs to keep the date unmodified would be useful, same for a program that would make it easy to do in-place hacks. Not sure how such a thing would look like though... _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
