I'm afraid it's not that simple. In some locales it's possible that two strings A and B can compare equal even though their bytes differ. The C notation for this is (strcoll (A,B) == 0 && strcmp (A,B) != 0). This point was addressed in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001/Cor 1-2002, item XCU/TC1/D6/40, and it's why the current Posix spec says that the behavior of uniq depends on LC_COLLATE. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
