I'd like to suggest an enhancement to GNU sort: consider -k 0 to be the entire line. This is useful with -k 0.A,0.B, to make the sort field be characters A through B on the current line, without regard to any `fields'. And in turn, this is useful when processing output from ps, which has the habit of running fields together without intervening spaces. I know there would be no rational way to specify it with the +N form, but so what :). Alternatively, there could be a value for the -t option that means `split the line between every character', say `-t null'. Just a thought, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
