Sort without Header and Trailer
Hi ,
My UNIX system is SUN Solaris.
I am trying to do a simple thing as described below.
I have a PIPE delimited file that has header and trailer. So the file is something like below:
Test1.txt looks like something below:
HTML Code:
field_data1|field_data2|and some more data --Header
Field1|field2|....and so on -Main data
T|some info --Trailer
I want to perform the things below in this file:
- Remove the trailer from Test1.txt
- Save the header from Test1.txt
- Sort the records in Test1.txt excluding header (and run some business operation already in place on Test1.txt) that will create a subset pipe delimited file say Test2.txt
- Sort Text2.txt by field 2 and 3
- Add the header from step2(above) in Test2.txt
So the output should be Test2.txt -sorted by field 2 and 3 and add the header from step2.
I would appreciate any advice and help.
Thanks

pdbtxt2html
pdbtxt2html(1) General Commands Manual pdbtxt2html(1)
NAME
pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots
SYNOPSIS
pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
pdbtxt2html -v
DESCRIPTION
pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML. If no HTML filename is given, the generated HTML is sent
to standard output.
Document Title
The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.
Bookmarks
The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between < and >, that is taken to be the bookmark marker. The
entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it (ignoring leading whitespace). These lines are converted to HTML headings.
The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for heading level 1. The level of subsequent headings is set
to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.
Embedded URLs
Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into hyperlinks. The ftp, gopher, http, https, mailto, news, telnet,
and wais URLs are recognized.
OPTIONS
-t Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.
-v Print the version number to standard output and exit.
EXAMPLE
To convert a Doc file to HTML:
txt2pdbdoc alice.pdb alice.txt
pdbtxt2html alice.txt alice.html
