Hello, I would like to suggest an improvement to head which would make it more consistent with tail. I suggest adding the ability to specify a number with the first character being + to the -n (--liines=N) option so that head will display all the lines except for the last n lines. This is not a standard feature and I have never seen it on any of the unixs, but it seems like it would help make head more complete. I have often needed this feature myself and usually resort to writing a small awk script. If there are no objections to such a feature being included in the gnu head, I would gladly port the code from the gnu tail to head in order to implement the feature and submit a patch to head. -Martin _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
