Hi, having to work with lists containing lage numbers (i.e. filesizes greater 2GB) I have problems. sort -n works join dosen't do as a "newcomer" expects.
Because join uses strtoul() before doing comparisation it is understandable. ("unpairable" is the result.) Do you see a chance to extend join with a -n parameter for numeric comparisation as sort has already? In the source / manpage join claims about combinations with sort. Why not expand this? :-) TIA!
