How do I specify tab as field separator for sort?
I'm trying to use sort on a file with tab-delimited fields. I can't figure out how to tell sort to use the tab character as the field separator. I'm trying this on both an HP Unix system and on OS X (using bash on both).
Things I've tried: sort -t\t sort -t"\t" sort -t\"\t\" I've tried other things out of desperation, but nothing has worked so far. I've looked through all the messages on the forum but couldn't find an answer. I found one message where someone was using the third form above, but that didn't work for me. TIA, -Steve |
