Hi
would it be possible to have a version that would accept the usual escape
sequences (in particular \t for tab) for the –t argument? It is possible to
create a special command to invoke join with –t <tab>, but it would be
much nicer if one could just write join –t \t ... .
My work around is
joit.bat:
cmd /f:off /c join.exe -t " " %*
where the character between the quotes is the tab. I need the exe, as
join.pl is lurking, which does the same basic job, but doesn’t support the other
options. Without the cmd the tab gets expanded to the next filename in the
current directory, even when quoted.
