Yeah ok but can i call it inside an awk file, and if yes how.

Hi, I have used the following code to sort two sets of data:
awk '{printf "%10s %s\n",$1,$2}'
The first column is text and the second involves numbers. I was just wondering how i would go about sorting the second number so that they ascend from the top?
Thanks for any help (4 Replies)

Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitReturnSort(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioPerl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitReturnSort(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Subroutines::ProhibitReturnSort - Behavior of "sort" is not defined if called in scalar context.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
The behavior of the builtin "sort" function is not defined if called in scalar context. So if you write a subroutine that directly
"return"s the result of a "sort" operation, then you code will behave unpredictably if someone calls your subroutine in a scalar context.
This Policy emits a violation if the "return" keyword is directly followed by the "sort" function. To safely return a sorted list of
values from a subroutine, you should assign the sorted values to a temporary variable first. For example:
sub frobulate {
return sort @list; # not ok!
@sorted_list = sort @list;
return @sort # ok
}
KNOWN BUGS
This Policy is not sensitive to the "wantarray" function. So the following code would generate a false violation:
sub frobulate {
if (wantarray) {
return sort @list;
}
else{
return join @list;
}
}
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
CREDITS
This Policy was suggested by Ulrich Wisser and the <http://iis.se> team.
