hi list,
both behavior and code indicate that split(1)'s `-e' (split by regular expression) doesn't play along with either `-n' (line count) or `-f' (output file prefix). the former is somewhat understandable, but the later is strange in lieu of `-s' (output file suffix) working just fine. that by accident or is there some rationale? -- dexen deVries [[[↓][→]]]
