--- Begin Message ---Package: moreutils Version: 0.10 Severity: normal I don't know if this is a bug, or a feature that isn't documented: % cd /tmp # file A has 3 'I's % for z in I came I saw I conquered ; do echo $z ; done > A # file B has 1 'I' % for z in I dream of Jeannie ; do echo $z ; done > B % combine A and B I I I Surprising that 'and' wouldn't stop at the first 'I', since 'B' has only one. % combine A or B I came I saw I conquered dream of Jeannie After that I'd half-expected that 'or' might print 4 'I's. % combine B and A I Also surprising. 'and' isn't commutative. The man page says: 'and' Outputs lines that are common to both files. ...which sounds commutative. % combine B or A I dream of Jeannie came saw conquered And 'or' isn't commutative. Probably the 'and' algorithm must go like: 1) let F2=list unique words in 2nd File. 2) let N=0 3) get line N of first file. 4) let N=N+1 5) print line N if N is in list F2 6) if not file1 EOF, goto step 3 ...and so forth. All the uses of 'combine' I can think of involve unique lists, so a pipe to 'sort --unique' would fix any surprises. Is the current behavior deliberate, and more useful for other tasks?

Closes: #378122 * combine: Man page improvements, to clarify even more that order does matter and that the operations are not commutative. Closes: #361123 * combine: The behavior of "or" was fairly strange if lines were repeated in a file. Changed behavior to just print all lines from both files, even if this means printing dups. Not sure I like this behavior either, but it's consistent with the very useful behaviors of "and" and "not". * vidir, vipe: Use /usr/bin/editor if it's present, and EDITOR and VISUAL arn't set, to comply with Debian policy. For portability, fall back to vi if there's no /usr/bin/editor.
