Need a sort solution for fixed length file
I have a 1250 byte record that I need to sort in column 10-19 and in column 301. I have tried the sort command, but it looks like it needs delimiters to work. The record can have spaces in a lot of its 1250 columns, but 10-19, and 301 are guaranteed. These columns are numeric too.
A sample look is:
1124688 Barrera .......................... 0 .....................
1 1998945 Warble .......................... 2 .....................
2327703 Rebholz .......................... 3 .....................
8 5032 Rebholz .......................... 5 .....................
1 is in column 1
1998945 is in column 10
Warble is in column 20
2 is in column 301
