Sorting a file in descending order when you have 10e- values
Hi, I am trying to sort the following file in descending order of its fourth column. Code:
2 1 363828 -2.423225e-03 3 1 363828 4.132763e-03 3 2 363828 8.150133e-03 4 1 363828 4.126890e-03 I use Code:
sort -k4,4g -r input.txt > output.txt But the file is still in ascending order. How do I fix this? Thanks! |
