Hi,

The command "echo 12345 | cut -b 0-" prints an empty line while it should fail with "fields and positions are numbered from 1" according to this specification "cut: diagnose a range starting with 0 (-f 0-2) as invalid".

Can you confirm this is an incomplete bugfix made on 2007-05-22?

See

Best regards,
