Package: rs
Version: 20120414-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When feeding some table data to rs with an empty cell in the table, rs behaves
randomly.
For instance, with the following two-lines tabular-separated input (see file
attached)
0 0
0
rs -c 0 2 produces non-deterministic outputs instead of simply outputting
something looking quite like the input.
I ran it 100 times, obtaining this kind of results:
$ for i in `seq 100`; do rs -c 0 2 < rsbug | wc; done | sort | uniq -c
52 2 2 5
12 2 3 13632
9 2 3 21824
4 2 3 30016
5 2 3 38208
1 2 3 46400
7 2 3 5440
7 2 3 54592
3 2 3 62784
The case with only 2 words in the output must be
00
0
where the initial tabulation was gobbled. In the other cases, the number of
spaces produced seems completely random.
Best regards,
Samuel
