Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting A simpler way to do this (save a list of files based on part of their name) Post 302839457 by LMHmedchem on Thursday 1st of August 2013 03:49:38 PM

Thanks, I will go over this and see if I can get it working. At the end of the day, I will be doing a cp of each file in the list to another directory. One of the problems I have is that I will probably want the top 20 out of 50 or so (not the top 3), so you can see why my method wasn't going to be practical.

It's not entirely clear to me what arguments 2 and 3 are. I argument 3 the number of files being processed and argument 2 the field being sorted on?
