Subject: bug#70699: Possible bug in /usr/bin/paste
Date: Wed, 1 May 2024 14:28:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <PH7PR22MB318564635DE41983F7DBFC36DF192@PH7PR22MB3185.namprd22.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Good morning,
I am seeing an aberrant behavior from the /usr/bin/paste utility when working with Windows-style CR/LF text files.
The repro is for Mint Mate (Virginia).
If I change the line endings in the first file to Unix format (LF), it works as expected.
If I change the line endings to Max (CR), it breaks even worse.
$ hexdump -C letters.txt
00000000 61 61 09 41 41 0d 0a 62 62 09 42 42 0d 0a |aa.AA..bb.BB..|
$ cat letters.txt
aa AA
bb BB
$ cat numbers.txt
1
2
$ paste letters.txt numbers.txt
aa 1A
bb 2B
$
Expected:
$ paste letters.txt numbers.txt
aa AA 1
bb BB 2
Thank you.
