Please note how the BOM (feff) moved to the end of the file :)

I was actually quite surprised that it was possible to get that far in the shell with UTF16 files as most of the shell tools are not Unicode/wide char aware. For instance try running 'less file.strings' and see the mess that results! I think the solution may be to convert to an 8-bit representation, do the catenation and sorting, then convert back to UTF16.

A really useful tool at this point is the GNU 'recode' program - http://recode.progiciels-bpi.ca/manual/index.html . Have a look at the tutorial page for some examples of how to use it -- it's a very powerful utility for converting between different encodings. It'll also deal with CR/LF issues as well (which is rather handy since the BSD command line tools don't like mac line endings either!) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
