$pgrp=1134 I count 7 - delimiters I don't understand any more.

What's the -f n saying? 'I go to the n-1'th delimiter and give you whatever is between that and the n'th delimiter'?

Can I assume that the n'th delimiter could either be a delimiter or an end of line character? If so, what is the end of line delimiter?

-f means "field". S is the first field, 1 the second, 21 the third, and so on. 1134 is the 8th field. Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
