awk error

Hi all,

i have the files in the below sequence:

fancy_LANG_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat

i am trying to sort them like below:

fancy_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_AU_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_HK_2008-03-06.dat
fancy_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat
fancy_LANG_STD_NZ_2008-03-05.dat

the script shows something like this

Code:

local flist="$@"
local filelist=`echo $flist | awk '{
while (++i<=NF) {
split($i,x,"_");
y=(x[2]=="LANG")?4:3;
print x[y],y,$i}
}' | sort -t"-" +1 +2 | awk '{print $3}'`;

I am having a small problem,when the number of files to be sorted increases,I am getting an error like below

: Input line FANCY_LANG_STD_AU_20 cannot be longer than 3,000 bytes.

I am using hp-ux and gawk does not seem to work.Any workaround.I guess there is a "fold" command but not sure if that will fulfill my needs.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Raju

load_datafile

load_datafile(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					    load_datafile(3alleg4)

NAME

       load_datafile - Loads a datafile into memory. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       DATAFILE *load_datafile(const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       Loads  a datafile into memory in one go. If the datafile has been encrypted, you must first call packfile_password() to set the appropriate
       key. If the datafile contains truecolor graphics, you must set the video mode or call set_color_conversion() before loading it. Example:

	  /* Load the resources for our game. */
	  DATAFILE *dat = load_datafile("game.dat");
	  if (!dat)
	     abort_on_error("Couldn't load sound resources!");
	  /* Use resources. */
	  ...
	  /* Destroy them when we don't need them any more. */
	  unload_datafile(dat);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the DATAFILE, or NULL on error. Remember to free this DATAFILE later to avoid memory leaks.
