making a list matching certain criteria in bash...
Hello everyone!I am trying to make a mail list(a simple .txt file)in which i put certain records that match specific criteria.
Let's say that i have a(sorted by last column file)like this one:

0100567 Bla1 Lala1 100
1234567 Bla2 Lala2 80
8769029 Bla3 Lala3 70
1001007 Bla4 Lala4 10

What i need to do is to redirect the whole first line in the mail list file.If I had another record with '100' in the 4th column,that should enter the mail list too...So you understand that records that enter that mail list are only those who have the highest number in the 4th column(not every time '100',only in this example).
There is no way(and no need) to know the numbers in that last column,the only thing i know is that they are sorted from high to low.


//Nevermind solved it

//if anyone answers this,please tell me how i can send mail from that list...

       Z39.50 Sort will be sent  after	a  search  response  has  been	received  and  before  any  records  are  retrieved  with  Z39.50  Present
       (yaz_present(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $id
		- The connection resource returned by yaz_connect(3).

	      o $criteria
		- A string that takes the form field1 flags1 field2 flags2 where field1 specifies the primary attributes for sort, field2 seconds,
		etc..  The field specifies either a numerical attribute combinations consisting of  type=value	pairs  separated  by  comma  (e.g.
		1=4,2=1)  ;  or  the  field  may specify a plain string criteria (e.g.	title. The flags is a sequence of the following characters
		which may not be separated by any white space.

		     Sort Flags

		     o a - Sort ascending

		     o d - Sort descending

		     o i - Case insensitive sorting

		     o s - Case sensitive sorting

RETURN VALUES

	No value is returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Sort Criterias

	       To sort on Bib1 attribute title, case insensitive, and ascending you would use the following sort criteria:

	      1=4 ia

	       If the secondary sorting criteria should be author, case sensitive and ascending you would use:

	      1=4 ia 1=1003 sa
