I did a cut/past of the data but have a question the 9th row does not match any of the others is this correct ? If not, can you attached the sample data as a file vs. pasting it site.code sampdattmp.h2o tmp.air disc.cfs Turb 10321000 1965-10-01 98 10321000 1965-11-01

Re: [PLUG] Mate vs Gnome Classic with fixes

My .02 cents - go to XFCE or LXDE, or compile DWM and go tiled. Life is too short to convince the Gnome or KDE teams that they messed up. With your use model being 20 some odd virtual desktops it would seem that a tiled manager would fit your need a lot better. EPEL is your friend if you are run

Re: [PLUG] Mate vs Gnome Classic with fixes

Keith I 200% feel the pain. It seems that Gnome, KDE et.al. have been infected by the same virus that engulfs all of Redmond Washington. But I can't really say its origin is from within the halls of Microsoft. But I can say and believe it is predominantly a disease of American origin. Some where

Something to keep in mind, initially don't be afraid to make use of the "|" cat data | sed | awk | sed | awk | cut | sed | awk once you get the results you want you can decide if you want to a reduction into fewer pipes. another thing many look over is instead of doing ... | sed '' | sed '
