Sorting name##.name by number only
How do I sort the output of ls
Code:
rfc1.txt
rfc2.txt
rfc30.txt
rfc17.txt
rfc10.txt
rfc3.txt
rfc22.txt
rfc44.txt
rfc20.txt

and put it in order like this…..

Code:
rfc1.txt
rfc2.txt
rfc3.txt
rfc10.txt
rfc17.txt
rfc20.txt
rfc22.txt
rfc30.txt
rfc44.txt

I can do a ls |sort -n ...but that just lists :
Code:
rfc1.txt
rfc10.txt
rfc17.txt
rfc2.txt
rfc22.txt

.
.
Not what I need...need it sorted in order using number in name only.
