Heyho, ok, accepted. The problem with xargs however is, that it builds up a command printf %b bla which is at least as long as the stdin stream of xargs. This command went over the maximum command length, my system supports, because I pipe my surf history into that xargs. Is there a command, that applies this transformation as the „xargs -0 printf %b“ command does, but only between stdin and stdout, so we can form a pipe which is not depending on arbitrary command length support? --Markus
