I wasn't meaning that we should replace split with comb, only that the default is specced in terms of comb, not split, so that it automatically discards leading and trailing whitespace. We may need to refactor the switch names though. Seems like -a is unnecessary if the pattern is specified, so maybe just three single exclusive options: -a autocomb on \S+ -A autocomb on pattern -F autosplit on pattern Presumably we could just warn on -a -F ':' and ignore the -a. Hmm, though if ':' is a pattern it's an illegal pattern...would need to be '\:' or some such... Larry
