Package: textutils Version: 1.11-2 I'm not sure if this a bug but IMO it is very misleading. Specified fields with cut aren't ordered as specified in output.
$ cat testfile 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 $ cat testfile | cut -f1,2,3 1 2 3 ~~~~~ 1 2 3 1 2 3 $ cat testfile | cut -f2,1,3 1 2 3 ~~~~~ 1 2 3 1 2 3 Perhaps it is intended to be this way. If so this needs to be more clearly explained in the man/info page. Erick -- Erick [EMAIL PROTECTED] +31-10-4635142 Department of General Surgery (Intensive Care) University Hospital Rotterdam NL
