Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Grep only specific lines ordered by column/date Post 302558769 by Scott on Sunday 25th of September 2011 08:23:50 AM

Oh, yes, I should have been looking for "196", than assuming "not 0" meant error.

The odd American date format might save you this year, but not sure how well that sort will hold up when 2012 comes along.

Which would come first?
Code:
09/23/11
01/01/12

At least with most other date formats, you'd only have to wait until October for it to break - less time to forget what you did!
Code:
23/09/11
01/10/11

But the international format will never break
Code:
20120101
20110923

Did I labour that point too much? Smilie
