I a file with log entries... I want to sort it so that the last line in the file is first and the first line is last..

eg.
Sample file
1
h
a
f
8
6

After sort should look like
6
8
f
a
h
1


Is this possible?

Its always something simple ehh.. I was playing around with sort -r but that was doing too much sorting..

Thanks for that!!!

Yet another way.

The actual sample file.
The reversed sample.file
vino

I think its better to use sort itself...

sort -r <filename>

I didn't c an option " -r " with tail...

hey vino,
tac is not available under solaris 5.8

And as RishiPahuja has told, tail also works but with -n option

Code : tail -n filename
