Package: enum Version: 1.0.3-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
This works: # Count from 40, 4 steps per, 25 times, & print it backwards. % enum .. 25x 4 .. 40 ... but not this: % enum 25x 4 40 ERROR: Combination of command line arguments could not be parsed: 25x 4 40 But the latter dotless syntax would be easier to type, and the trailing 'x' in '25x' seems properly unambiguous. The man page describes other COUNTx usages: % man enum | nl | grep COUNTx | grep -v LEFT 107 o enum .. COUNTx STEP .. RIGHT 112 o enum .. COUNTx STEP .. 113 o enum .. COUNTx .. RIGHT 121 o enum .. COUNTx .. 125 o enum COUNTx Only line 125 dispenses with the leading '..', yet the other lines would be unambiguous if the leading '..' were removed. In line 107, the '..' following 'STEP' also seems unnecessary. Hope this helps... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages enum depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 enum recommends no packages. enum suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
