Sorting a file
hello all, I have a file with two numbers on each line, comma separated. I want to sort the contents of the file in increasing order (smallest to largest) of the numbers on the second line. i.e:
23,3
25,2
27,12
to become
25,2
23,3
27,12
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
Khoom

Certainly enough, this is taking forever and also fulls the / of our machine.
Any idea of how we could proceed to make this a little bit more efficient?
Maybe by forcing sort to "stay in... (7 Replies)

ncheck_hfs
ncheck_hfs(1M) ncheck_hfs(1M)
NAME
ncheck_hfs: ncheck - generate a list of path names from inode numbers for a HFS file system
SYNOPSIS
inode-numbers] [special ...]
DESCRIPTION
when invoked without arguments, generates a list of path names corresponding to the inode numbers of all files contained on the HFS file
systems listed in If special is specified, ncheck reports on the special only. Path names generated by are relative to the given special.
Names of directory files are followed by
Options
Allow printing of the names
and which are ordinarily suppressed.
Specify the HFS file system type.
Report only on files whose inode numbers
are specified on the command line, in inode-numbers. inode-numbers is a comma separated list of inode numbers.
Report only on special files
and regular files with set-user-ID mode. The option is intended to discover concealed violations of security policy.
Echo the completed command line, but performs no other action.
The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from This
option allows the user to verify the command line.
Report only on files using sector numbers
specified on the command line in sector_ranges. sector_ranges is a comma separated list of sector ranges. A sector
range is a starting sector number and an ending sector number separated by a dash, or just a sector number. The sec-
tor numbers should be in DEV_BSIZE units. If no pathname contains the sector number it will be reported as free or
containing file system structure. Sectors beyond the end of the file system will be reported as illegal.
Access Control Lists
Continuation inodes (that is, inodes containing additional access control list information) are quietly skipped since they do not corre-
spond to any path name.
EXAMPLES
Execute the command on all special in
Execute the command on HFS file system
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
DIAGNOSTICS
When the file system structure is improper, denotes the ``parent'' of a parentless file and a path-name beginning with denotes a loop.
