https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D252896 Bug ID: 252896 Summary: usr.bin/cut when used with -w will replace first delimiter with \t delimter Product: Base System Version: 12.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: antispam007@mac.com It seems that cut is replacing Space Char with a Tab Char when you use the special function -w for delimiters Fast proof could be a=20 ls -al | cut -w -f x- (where x the field number) you will get someting like filed-x <TAB> field-x+1 <SPC> field-x+2 <SPC> ... instead of=20 filed-x <SPC> field-x+1 <SPC> field-x+2 <SPC> ... You could verify it with hd(1) where you see 09 for <TAB> and <20> for SPC Expected behaviour would be, that cut is not touching/changing the field delimiter --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
