Hello dear developers/maintainers, I hope you're doing alright.
I don't know if this is a bug, a workaround or an intended behavior, but I
need `comm` to suppress the "delimiter".
When I run the following command, in which I've set the option `
--output-delimiter` to an empty string:
`comm -3 --nocheck-order --output-delimiter='' file1 file2 > file3`
The output `*file3*` contains *unwanted null characters* ('\0') where the
delimiter should've been...
As far as I see, there don't seem to be a way to completely disable writing
the delimiter, whether this is intentional or not...
The culprit seems to be these two lines:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/comm.c#L485
Why setting `col_sep_len` to 1 even when `col_sep` is empty?
If this is a bug, I volunteer to fix it. :)
Thank you in advance,
Matthieu Carteron
