This patch changes interpretation of subsequent delimeter interpretation. Earlier version merged columns that had null string as content together, which lead to output as visualized below. $ printf "a:b:c\n1::3\n" | column -t -s ':' a b c 1 3 The number 3 has wrong column, which this patch takes care of, and alters the output following way. $ printf "a:b:c\n1::3\n" | column -t -s ':' a b c 1 3 This patch does not alter the default case, e.g., subsequent white spaces are understood as separator of the same field, and the beginning of line white spaces are being ignored together.

The new operation makes sense to me. You can always get the previous operation by filtering through tr -s ':' first. cheers, Pádraig. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
