Can't reproduce it here. Even in single column mode with -l I still get the whole lot. Thought it might be something in my .bashrc, which I brought over from a Gentoo install so tried it on my FreeBSD box and still get the same results - always every item. The only way I can think of to guarantee that this would work on any system would be to use Perl. But that's my answer to everything ;-) Cheers M The guy with the shell allergy. -- Matthew Smith Smiffytech - Technology Consulting & Web Application Development Business: http://www.smiffytech.com/ Blog/personal: http://www.smiffysplace.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/smiffy Skype: msmiffy Twitter: @smiffy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
