Shell Programming and Scripting

How would i take the output of a file dump it into another file while at the same time sorting it?

this is my script..simple i know!?

Im trying to dump it into that list file and sort it at the same time..any ideas?

Code:

awk '{print $1,$2,$4,$5|"sort"}' $file >> list  

Thanks that def. did the trick.. One more question woud there be a way to combine the repeated Ip addresses.
example:
109.86.214.79 - [01/Nov/2010:15:54:36 -0400]
109.86.214.79 - [01/Nov/2010:15:54:45 -0400]
109.86.214.79 - [01/Nov/2010:16:17:15 -0400]
109.86.214.79 - [01/Nov/2010:20:09:37 -0400]
109.86.214.79 - [01/Nov/2010:20:09:41 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:08 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:09 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]
114.58.112.39 - [01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]

You see how they repeat the ip but the date/time is different is there a way to sort that so it only shows one Ip but multiple dates and time?
ex: 109.86.214.79
[01/Nov/2010:15:54:36 -0400]
[01/Nov/2010:15:54:45 -0400]

114.58.112.39
[01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]
[01/Nov/2010:08:06:10 -0400]

something like that example

try:

Code:

awk '{a[$1]=a[$1] RS $4 FS $5;b[$1]=$1}END{l=asort(b);for(i=1;i<=l;i++) print b[i],a[b[i]]}' $file >>list

this the error im getting:

awk: line 2: function asort never defined

or try:

Code:

awk '{a[$1]=a[$1] RS $1 FS $3 FS $4}END{for(i in a) {print i,i,a[i]}}' $file |sort -r |cut -d' ' -f2- >>list

that worked perfect! I appreciate your help! Thank you.
