[quote] ... In AIX (for example) if you said
Code: echo 1,2,3,4,5 | cut -d, -f3,1,5
you would get output as 3,1,5
I tend to think that AIX is not posix compliant, then. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cut.html
The behaviour of cut makes sense to me, actually. I remember one of the UNIX paradigms and thats "do only one thing but do it good"
So sed with a regexp? sed -e 's/([^,]*),([^,]*),([^,]*)/\1\3\2/'
