That might've been better if it were "%05d" and I also wonder what will happen if someone surpasses 99999 lines in his history file. I think I'll have a look at binutils source. This is because I'm trying to parse history output and I foolishly set FS (field separator) to be two consecutive spaces '\ \ '. I think I'll pass this to sed first and maybe replace with an unlikely character to be found thereafter so these lines will be parseable or if it's confirmed to be a hardcoded fixed width output I'll just use column numbers. I also hope this won't get mess the threads as I thought I was subscribed to this mailing list so I am replying by hand and I don't know if the right headers will be included, so please excuse as well, if the threads get messed up.
