Full Discussion: Alternative to sort -ur +1 required
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Alternative to sort -ur +1 required Post 302709827 by Mike Smith on Wednesday 3rd of October 2012 03:49:59 PM

Alternative to sort -ur +1 required
I've got scripts trawling the network and dumping parsed text into files with an Epoch timestamp in column 1. I append the old data to the new data then just want to keep the top entry if there is an identical duplicate below (column 1 needs to be ignored).

sort -ur +1 works a treat on a Solaris 8 box but on Solaris 10 the 'r' seems to break!

Can some kind soul offer a fix / workaround?

If you ask me a question please keep it dummy level as I'm not super Unix literate.
