Hello Maintainer,<div><br></div><div>I am using join v8.5 from debian squeeze.</div><div><br></div><div>When using the -v2 option with different join fields in files 1 and 2, the join field which gets moved to the beginning of the result lines is the one identified by the -1 option, not the one identified by the -2 option.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here are my test files:</div><div>==== file a ====</div><div><div>axx111  keyX    axx222</div><div>ayy111  keyY    ayy222</div></div><div><br></div><div>==== file b ====</div><div><div>xxx111  xxx222  keyX    xxx333</div>
<div>zzz111  zzz222  keyZ    zzz333</div></div><div><br></div><div>now, the command:</div><div>   join   -v 2   -1 2   -2 3   a   b</div><div>produces</div><div>==== wrong output ====</div><div><div>zzz222 zzz111 keyZ zzz333</div>
<div><br></div><div>instead of</div><div>==== expected output ====</div><div><div>keyZ zzz111 zzz222 zzz333</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The two following other commands work as expected:</div><div><div>   join    -v 1    -1 2    -2 3    a b</div>
<div>   join    -1 2    -2 3    a b</div></div><div><br></div><div>I did not find this problem in your database - or am I mistaken ?</div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Jean-Pierre Tosoni<br>
