Hi, POSIX:2024 specifies that printf(1) should support numbered conversion specifications: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/printf.html https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1592 Could this support please be added to GNU coreutils? As of coreutils 9.5, I still get: $ /usr/bin/printf 'abc%2$sdef%1$sxxx\n' 1 2 abc/usr/bin/printf: %2$: invalid conversion specification
This make sense to implement. I see ksh and FreeBSD at least, already have. I'll have a look at doing this. thank you, Pádraig
