Yes that's a bit better and fits in the line, so I've pushed that in your name. Note personally I use "smartcase" matching, and so usually search for lower case to match case insensitively. I use vim as my MANPAGER, but you can also use this with less by setting 'i' in your LESS env variable. cheers, Pádraig. ------------=_1370217002-31522-1 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: (at submit) by debbugs.gnu.org; 2 Jun 2013 18:18:40 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:48054 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1UjCrX-0003Yh-I4 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:18:40 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([208.118.235.92]:36860) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.72) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Nk-00079f-Ix for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:23:29 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Lv-0006Kr-2V for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:21:37 -0400 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on eggs.gnu.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-99.2 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2 Received: from lists.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::11]:46202) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Lu-0006Kn-Vv for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:21:35 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::10]:38575) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Lr-0000g8-Ti for bug-coreutils@gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:21:34 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Lp-0006K0-6f for bug-coreutils@gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:21:31 -0400 Received: from rhlx01.hs-esslingen.de ([129.143.116.10]:53312) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Uj6Lp-0006Jn-0q for bug-coreutils@gnu.org; Sun, 02 Jun 2013 07:21:29 -0400 Received: by rhlx01.hs-esslingen.de (Postfix, from userid 102) id 4D872A0E4C; Sun, 2 Jun 2013 13:21:27 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2013 13:21:27 +0200 From: Andreas Mohr To: bug-coreutils@gnu.org Subject: Wishlist: date(1): missing search keyword (UTC) Message-ID: <20130602112127.GA7725@rhlx01.hs-esslingen.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Priority: none User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: GNU/Linux 2.2.x-3.x [generic] X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: Error: Malformed IPv6 address (bad octet value).
