Hi folks. I have the feeling there is a bug in the sort program (GNU textutils 2.1) $ cat ../../genomes.txt H. sapiens (human) - 3,400,000,000 bp - 30,000 genes A. thaliana (plant) - 100,000,000 bp - 25,000 genes S. cerevisiae (yeast) - 12,100,000 bp - 6034 genes E. coli (bacteria) - 4,670,000 bp - 3237 genes 4 lines text? 4 lines text? 203 characters? $ ./sort -nu ../../genomes.txt H. sapiens (human) - 3,400,000,000 bp - 30,000 genes 4 lines text? 203 characters? $ ./sort -u ../../genomes.txt | sort -n A. thaliana (plant) - 100,000,000 bp - 25,000 genes E. coli (bacteria) - 4,670,000 bp - 3237 genes H. sapiens (human) - 3,400,000,000 bp - 30,000 genes S. cerevisiae (yeast) - 12,100,000 bp - 6034 genes 4 lines text? 203 characters? $ The output is truncated when the options n and u are used together. However, piping works...(even without tobacco). Cheers, Röbbe.
