Just to clarify, the text file created on the sun computer was created by hand (ie typed out) simply to test some of the routines. The original full text files are station lists that are obtained by copying and pasting from a web browser into a text file. In the past, on the sun system, this had never been a problem. After I scp'd the files from the sun system to the linux system, the sort command no longer parsed them the same way.
I've scp'd the file from the sun computer (generated there) to the linux computer, and ran the sort, but it still produces the same incorrect output. As far as I know, there is no copy and paste going on now.
I can't imagine that this is caused by the difference between GNU 7.4 and 7.5.
Thanks!

My LC_COLLATE environment variable was set to "en_IE.utf8". I set that instead as "C", for POSIX ASCII sort as in Unix environments, and the sort command now works as I would expect on my input file.

I do see differences in in comands and how to accomplish basic adminstration, but nothing mind blowing.
So, what is it... (5 Replies)

To make it easier, i gave following example. It is not homework or classwork. Instead, i have a huge csv file dump from tsql with 15 columns and around 300 rows. I was able to extract content that needs to be really converted. Here is the extract:
