hi
What i tried was to join the 4 lines(which form a group) into a single line and then sort bsed on the required key and then get back the old format.
Input data - Quote:
Code:
1) paste -s -d "\t\t\t\n" filename gives xrkrb@chu10t1: /home/xrkrb/unix_forum>paste -s -d "\t\t\t\n" mytestfile ************************************** sree sree@yahoo.com 98662323432 ************************************* phani phani@yahoo.com 98662323344 ************************************* 2) then you sort the lines based on the second field which is the name 3) get back the original format as it existed in the original file - this is done by 'tr' Last edited by ranj@chn; 11-25-2006 at 08:51 AM.. Reason: typo errors |
