display the file
change /* to #/* (to find later)
translate <new-line> to a ~
translate the # to a <new-line> (now, each record on one line only instead of 4)
sort
translate to get rid of (suppress) repetitive ~ characters
translate ~ to <new-line> (to put line back to four lines)
I often take multi-line inputs, and tr the <new-line> to ~ so I can treat multi-line records as one. Useful for sort and grep, for example. But, must place some kind of marker on the lines to assist in later putting the lines back to their original state.
how can i sort the next list just by look at the numbers (ignore letters)
example:
abc123
dff4f
aaa2aa
bbbb55555bb
output:
aaa2aa
dff4f
abc123
bbbb55555bb (1 Reply)

wrap-and-sort
WRAP-AND-SORT(1) General Commands Manual WRAP-AND-SORT(1)NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort [options]
DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort
removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
*.install in the debian directory.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).
-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top. Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
the first package.
-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).
-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple times. All supported files will be processed if no
files are specified.
-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.
