Hello there. I think I have noticed a bug in 'sort' program, version 5.97. When I try to sort a non-empty file and I redirect the input to the same file as follows
$ sort testfile > testfile the file suddenly gets empty. I think the program should sort the file and redirects the file sorted to itself. Although the operation has no sense, I think this could cause a disaster if I mismatch when typing the ouput file. Other programs like 'cat' warns me if the input file is the same as output, and cancels the operation. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
