I thought we could do better than that, but maybe not... of the available choices -R isn't bad. The remaining unused single ascii letters are: b g j k o q r y z A B G H J K L N O P Q R Y Z Though there are some numerics also: -1 do it in one gulp (confusable with -l, though) Possibly: -o do it in "one" gulp (myself I'd keep it in case there's a need for "output") Maybe: -N the "opposite" of -n -P the "opposite" of -p so instead of, say, -nR or -pR you could just use -N or -PThread Previous | Thread Next
