Sorry I did not see the sor routine and just blindly copied the code. I got the idea. it grabs the largest string first.
Two questions:
1. Any awk command to handle the largest to smallest sort.
2. I gave three sentences: it worked only on the first. How do I get the code to loop through the whole input file.
Sorry for such stupid questions but I am still learning awk programming,
Many thanks and excuses for not reading through your mail,
Best regards,
Gimley
