(That said, I've always rather wondered why xargs doesn't have a mode to expect \n-separated args. There is of course the problem that file names might also contain \n (maybe not on 'doze, but on POSIX filesystems they can), though for less typing it seems most xargs input tends to be line-delineated anyway. -- Matthew Please do not quote my e-mail address unobfuscated in message bodies. -- Is this thing on? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
