syntax gives back funny results
i do lots of formatting of types/sorts on my laptop and this is probably one of the basic syntax I use
sed '/\<[0-9]*:/G;/\.$/G;' filename | fmt -w 80 > foo
if I add /**.*/;' to the sed command sometimes i am getting the right output some times I get line-errors...
even with basic syntax as I have put above this gives abnormal file output once in a while where I have tried
cat -v ; col -b and fmt -cw which have all worked but never all the time once in a while I can not figure out
why this syntx splits up some lines in the middle of sentences no matter what I try..
any feedback welcome ; thanx in advance moxxx68

LAPTOP_MODE(8) System Manager's Manual LAPTOP_MODE(8) NAME
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode - apply laptop mode settings SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode [ cmd ] [ force ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the /usr/sbin/laptop_mode command. laptop_mode is a program that applies the settings given in the /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf configuration file. The primary use is to control the laptop mode feature included in Linux kernels with versions 2.6.6 and higher, and 2.4.23 and higher. This feature increases battery life by letting your hard drive spin down. This is achieved by grouping disk write activity into "chunks" that are spaced at larger intervals than they normally would be. In addition to sup- porting the Linux kernel's laptop mode feature, /usr/sbin/laptop_mode also supports various power saving modules which are configured through configuration files in the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d directory. It is not recommended to call /usr/sbin/laptop_mode directly to start or stop laptop mode, except in hardware event handlers. To apply new configuration settings from laptop-mode.conf, call the laptop-mode service init script with the reload parameter. COMMANDS
Specify force as the second parameter to force laptop_mode to re-apply a state even if the computer is already in that state. These are the values that are allowed for cmd : auto Enable or disable laptop mode based on the current power state. Note that this will not do anything if the laptop-mode service has not been started! status Display a status report about everything that laptop_mode affects. SEE ALSO
