I have a file with this structure:
I would like to sort my file based on the second column so to have this output for example:
The second column goes from 1 to 22. I used sort -k2,2 file name but it doesn't sort my numbers in the second column but it gives 1 then 10, then 11 to 19, then 2 to 22.
How I should sort this, I imagine having numeric values in my second column is the problem.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I want to know, how we find out if a column is having a numeric value or not.
For Example if we have a csv file as
ASDF,QWER,GHJK,123,FGHY,9876
GHTY,NVHR,WOPI,623,HFBS,5386
we need to find out if the 4th and 6th column has muneric value or not.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I would like to do the following sorting, but the output is not what i expected. Why 222 and 2222 are not at the last two elements of array?
awk 'BEGIN{a="22";a="2222";a="33";a="44";a="222";a="11";a="22";a="33";asort(a); for (i=1;i<=8;i++) print a}'

Hi team,
We have few files landing to our server based on sequence number. These files have to be processed in the sequence number order. Once the sequence number has reached its maximum, the files with sequence number 0000 has to be processed.
For example:
IN9997
IN9998
IN9999
IN0000... (7 Replies)

column
COLUMN(1) BSD General Commands Manual COLUMN(1)NAME
column -- columnate lists
SYNOPSIS
column [-tx] [-c columns] [-s sep] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The column utility formats its input into multiple columns. Rows are filled before columns. Input is taken from file operands, or, by
default, from the standard input. Empty lines are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-c Output is formatted for a display columns wide.
-s Specify a set of characters to be used to delimit columns for the -t option.
-t Determine the number of columns the input contains and create a table. Columns are delimited with whitespace, by default, or with
the characters supplied using the -s option. Useful for pretty-printing displays.
-x Fill columns before filling rows.
Column exits 0 on success, >0 if an error occurred.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS The environment variable COLUMNS is used to determine the size of the screen if no other information is available.
EXAMPLES
(printf "PERM LINKS OWNER GROUP SIZE MONTH DAY HH:MM/YEAR NAME
"
; ls -l | sed 1d) | column -t
