I check the man page but I still cannot see what this command is supposed to do
sort +5 -6 <file>
It just seems to sort the file as normal??
Thanks

Hi,
Could anyone kindly show me a link or explain the difference between

Also, if I like to remove the row with repetition at both $2 and $3, Can I safely use
sort -u -k2 -k3
Example;

So, both $2 and $3 are same and I... (2 Replies)

Units(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Units(3pm)NAME
Math::Calc::Units - Human-readable unit-aware calculator
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Calc::Units qw(calc readable convert equal);
print "It will take ".calc("10MB/(384Kbps)")." to download
";
my @alternative_descriptions = readable("10MB/(384Kbps)");
print "A week is ".convert("1 week", "seconds")." long
";
if (equal("$rate bytes / sec", "1 MB/sec")) { ... };
DESCRIPTION
"Math::Calc::Units" is a simple calculator that keeps track of units. It currently handles combinations of byte sizes and duration only,
although adding any other multiplicative types is easy. Any unknown type is treated as a unique user type (with some effort to map English
plurals to their singular forms).
The primary intended use is via the "ucalc" script that prints out all of the "readable" variants of a value. For example, "3 bytes" will
only produce "3 byte", but "3 byte / sec" produces the original along with "180 byte / minute", "10.55 kilobyte / hour", etc.
The "Math::Calc::Units" interface only provides for string-based computations, which could result in a large loss of precision for some
applications. If you need the exact result, you may pass in an extra parameter 'exact' to "calc" or "convert", causing them to return a
2-element list containing the numerical result and a string describing the units of that result:
my ($value, $units) = convert("10MB/sec", "GB/day");
(In scalar context, they just return the numeric value.)
Examples of use
o Estimate transmission rates (e.g., 10MB at 384 kilobit/sec)
o Estimate performance characteristics (e.g., disk I/O rates)
o Figure out how long something will take to complete
I tend to work on performance-sensitive code that involves a lot of network and disk traffic, so I wrote this tool after I became very sick
of constantly converting KB/sec to GB/day when trying to figure out how long a run is going to take, or what the theoretical maximum
performance would be if we were 100% disk bound. Now I can't live without it.
Contraindications
If you are just trying to convert from one unit to another, you'll probably be better off with "Math::Units" or "Convert::Units". This
module really only makes sense when you're converting to and from human-readable values.
