Environment: Debian GNU/Linux 5 (i686) and CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.11(0.260/5/3) (i686)
Summary: {n} expansion in --colsep files fails for empty fields if all following fields are also empty
Example:
FILE: input
--------
bob,jones,123,main
billy,north,,
sam,smith,456,fitch
sue,adams,,
COMMAND: $ cat input | parallel -uj1 --colsep , echo {3}
EXPECTED:
123
456
RECEIVED:
123
{3}
456
{3}
Note: This does not occur if I add a non-blank field to each line. Only when the field in question is empty and all following fields are also empty (or if the field in question is the final field and also empty).
Let me know if I can assist in any way. I adore parallel!!!
Regards,
