It's still there in the latest stable version, 5.96: $ uniq --version | head -n1 uniq (GNU coreutils) 5.96 $ uniq --help | grep check -w, --check-chars=N compare no more than N characters in lines > I am happy to write a patch > to do so if no-one else wants to do it.

Probably because you switched systems or PATH, and are no longer using the GNU coreutils version of uniq. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
