Code:
a,4,3,2,1
c,5,4,3,2
b,1,5,4,2

...would deliver:-
Code:
a,1,2,3,4
c,2,3,4,5
b,1,2,4,5

If so, I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc.)
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.


Kind regards,
Robin
Thanks Robin for your reply.

This is not assignment problem. My OS is GNU/Linux and I prefer to use Shell script/AWK.

I am thinking of listing all possible tags in one file Tags.txt , then match each tag in one line at a time and take the result after = sign of that particular tag and present it as output. However, I am still not able to come up with correct AWK statement for this.

And, Yes It is horizontal sorting based on the order of tags.

GAPPLETVIEWER(1)                                                        GNU                                                       GAPPLETVIEWER(1)

NAME

       gappletviewer - Load and runs an applet

SYNOPSIS

       appletviewer [OPTION]... URL...

       appletviewer [OPTION]... -code CODE

       appletviewer [OPTION]... -plugin INPUT,OUTPUT

DESCRIPTION

       The appletviewer tool loads and runs an applet.

       Use the first form to test applets specified by tag.  The URL should resolve to an HTML document from which the appletviewer will extract
       applet tags.  The APPLET, EMBED and OBJECT tags are supported.  If a given document contains multiple applet tags, all the applets will be
       loaded, with each applet appearing in its own window.  Likewise, when multiple URLs are specified, each applet tag instance is given its
       own window.  If a given document contains no recognized tags the appletviewer does nothing.

               appletviewer http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/

       Use the second form to test an applet in development.  This form allows applet tag attributes to be supplied on the command line.  Only one
       applet may be specified using the -code option.  The -code option overrides the URL form -- any URLs specified will be ignored.

               appletviewer -code Test.class -param datafile,data.txt

       gcjwebplugin uses the third form to communicate with the appletviewer through named pipes.

       PLUGIN OPTION

       -JOPTION
           Use the -J option to pass OPTION to the virtual machine that will run the appletviewer.  Unlike other options, there must not be a
           space between the -J and OPTION.
