I agree with vgersh99. I believe that the way the data sample has been posted into the original post has introduced more extra line terminators!


The original data fault is the sort of effect you get if people cut/paste data from another Window (like from an email). It's all too common.

NAME
wxcopy - copy stdin or file into cutbuffer SYNOPSIS
wxcopy [options] [filename] DESCRIPTION
wxcopy copies stdin or filename into the cutbuffer. If no cutbuffer is specified, the data will be copied into cutbuffer 0 and the other cutbuffers will be rotated, if present. If a cutbuffer is specified, the data is copied into that cutbuffer, and no rotation of buffers is performed. OPTIONS
-cutbuffer number Specifies the number of the cutbuffer to copy data to. -display display-name The data will be copied in the cutbuffers of the specified display/screen. -nolimit Makes the normal 64kb limit check not to be performed, making the buffer attempt to grow to whatever size is required. -clearselection Clears the PRIMARY selection owner. In practice it means that when you try to paste the data with the middle mouse button (for exam- ple) it will paste the data from cut buffer 0, instead of any eventually existing mouse selection.
