Package: num-utils Version: 0.5-11 Severity: minor
Thanks for the handy package. I like applying basic math operations to standard input and output. The man page for numprocess currently says "There is currently no way to take the number found in the text stream and use it as the numerator instead of the denominator of a division operation." but it seems to me that this warning may be unnecessary. Here's how to use the number found in the text stream as both the numerator echo 4 | numprocess /%3/ and denominator echo 4 | numprocess /^-1,*3/ Thanks, Kingsley -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages num-utils depends on: ii perl 5.10.0-22 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction num-utils recommends no packages. num-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
