I am creating some documentation that includes a list of packages that are to be installed for a Debian Server.
This is a single line and I would like to sort the list of packages alphabetically.
Using a small example of the packages, the best I could come up with was as follows:
I create a file with the line in it.
I then use this command to try and sort the line.
However if you use my example above which has an odd number of items seperated by spaces you get this error
tsort: /tmp/unsortedline.txt: input contains an odd number of tokens
So I end up just putting another character in the file so there is an even amount and it then works and outputs the line alphabetically. I then remove the added character afterward.
Can anyone provide a more elegant way to do this?
Also, whilst on the subject if anyone has an idea on how I could insert " \" at the end of each line defined by a set amount of characters (72 for example) at the same time it would also be useful, e.g.
