Hi,
I have isntalled the CYGwin suite ant the command 'comm' that is provided
(man page is laelled 2.0.21) is misbehaving when file f1 contains a set of
rows and file f2 contains a subset of it as far
As I unedrstand comm should work as follows: if
f1={
x
y
z
}
f2={
x
}
the three coloumns should be
1 2 3
x
y
z
Hence
comm -12 f1 f2
should suppress col 1 and 2 and should produce a file with one line
fout={x} and instead it produces and empty output.
comm -13 f1 f2
should suppress col 1 and 3 and should produce an empty file and instead
it produces a file of one line fout={x}.
comm -23 f1 f2
should supprss col 2 and 3 and produce a file of two lines
fout={
y
z
}
and instead it produces a file of three lines
fout={
x
y
z
}
At least this is waht I understand and what I get on an HP UX system.
best regards
Franz
