Hi all,
i have the files in the below sequence:
fancy_LANG_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
i am trying to sort them like below:
fancy_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
the script shows something like this
Code:
local flist="$@"
local filelist=`echo $flist | awk '{
while (++i<=NF) {
split($i,x,"_");
y=(x[2]=="LANG")?4:3;
print x[y],y,$i}
}' | sort -t"-" +1 +2 | awk '{print $3}'`;
I am having a small problem,when the number of files to be sorted increases,I am getting an error like below
: Input line FANCY_LANG_STD_AU_20 cannot be longer than 3,000 bytes.
I am using hp-ux and gawk does not seem to work.Any workaround.I guess there is a "fold" command but not sure if that will fulfill my needs.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Raju
