Sorting on length with identification of number of characters
Hello,
I am writing an open-source stemmer in Java for Indic languages which admit a large number of suffixes.
The Java stemmer requires that each suffix string be sorted as per its length and that all strings of the same length are arranged in a single group, sorted alphabetically. Moreover as a header I need to specify the numeric value of the string, say
Code:
5
6
7
8
etc.

Since the languages in question have over 300 and more suffixes, trying to sort on length and identifying the length of each string and counting it becomes a difficult issue.
An example will make this clear.
Input:
Code:
आधी
इतक
इतपत
ईचना
ईचनात
ई
ईना
ईन

Expected output
Code:
1
ई
2
ईन
3
आधी
इतक
ईना
4
इतपत
ईचना
5
ईचनात

Since handling such a large database is laborious, is it possible to write a script in AWK or PERL which would enable the above output.
Your help would go a long way in putting java-based stemmers in different languages in the open-source community.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help

jstack

jstack(1)						      General Commands Manual							 jstack(1)

NAME

       jstack - stack trace

SYNOPSIS

       jstack [ option ] pid
       jstack [ option ] executable core
       jstack [ option ] [server-id@]remote-hostname-or-IP

DESCRIPTION

       jstack  prints  Java  stack traces of Java threads for a given Java process or core file or a remote debug server. For each Java frame, the
       full class name, method name, 'bci' (byte code index) and line number, if available, are printed. With the -m option,  jstack  prints  both
       Java  and  native frames of all threads along with the 'pc' (program counter). For each native frame, the closest native symbol to 'pc', if
       available, is printed. C++ mangled names are not demangled. To demangle C++ names, the output of this command may be piped to c++filt.

       NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK.  jstack is not  currently  available
       on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform.

PARAMETERS

       Options are mutually exclusive. Option, if used, should follow immediately after the command name.

       pid	      process  id  for which the stacktrace is to be printed.  The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes
		      running on a machine, jps may be used.

       executable     Java executable from which the core dump was produced.

       core	      core file for which the stack trace is to be printed.

       remote-hostname-or-IP
		      remote debug server's (see jsadebugd) hostname or IP address.

       server-id      optional unique id, if multiple debug servers are running on the same remote host.

OPTIONS

       -m	      prints mixed mode (both Java and native C/C++ frames) stack trace.

       -h	      Prints a help message.

       -help	      Prints a help message.

SEE ALSO

       pstack(1) c++filt(1) jps(1) jsadebugd(1)

KNOWN BUGS

       Mixed mode stack trace, the -m option, does not work with the remote debug server.
