Hi.

The version of paste may vary, this works for me:

Code:

#!/bin/bash -

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate paste with null string delimiter.

echo
echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")"
version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version =o $(_eat $0 $1) paste
echo

echo "123abc" >data1
echo "123 abc" >data2

echo " paste with null string delimiter:"
paste -d "" data1 data2

exit 0

Producing:

Code:

% ./s1

(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
Linux 2.6.11-x1
GNU bash 2.05b.0
paste (coreutils) 5.2.1

 paste with null string delimiter:
123abc123 abc

The paste with \0 produced:

Code:

123abc0123 abc

with my paste.

I noticed on Solaris that my script fails with error message:

Code:

paste: no delimiters

but using

Code:

paste -d '\0' data1 data2

seemed to work (note the quotes) ... cheers, drl
