So it seems unexpand is ok? Try another one. My /etc/fstab holds tab-separated values. expand /etc/fstab > fstab.out # now spaces. # (ok) unexpand fstab.out > fstab.out.unexpd # still spaces :( # bug. unexpand -t8 fstab.out > fstab.out.unexpd # tabs again! # (ok) Cheers, Sören > > user1@muenchen7:~> unexpand --version > > unexpand (GNU textutils) 2.0.10 > > Geschrieben von David MacKenzie. > > > > Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > > [...] -- Sören M Sörries http://Spuk.de/s/
