Hello! My question is the following: Will there be a '-m' or '--chars' option for tail and head? Because, when processing Unicode, the -c (--bytes) option isn't very useful.
Well, of course, it does what it should do - but I think it was designed with byte==char in mind (which is probably why it was called "-c"). Now I believe that tail/head should be able to process unicode, just like wc does already - Unix (or Not Unix, for that matter) finally is all about text, not bytes, right? With kind regards, Richard Wossal PS: I did some searching on this topic but I found no answer - if this was asked and answered before, I appologize for wasting your time. -- Richard
