Sort-continue!
Dear matrixmadhan

I still have issue due to unconventional data file:

Sometimes: it has more than 3 lines; it could be 4 or 5 line after the first line.

Is there a way that we can pick up the subline (three line down but to the last line before M 47) for example the data below:

ct=$(($subline + 3))

M 47 HIS:LOT 32 DUTY 2 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
47TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD
My 4 th LINE
MY 5 th LINE

M 47 HIS:LOT 1 DUTY 1 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
24TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD

M 47 HIS:LOT 59 DUTY 2 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
123TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD
My 4 th LINE
MY 5 th LINE
My 6 th LINE

Also I want to save the data to the new file (filename2); I tried:

echo "" > filename2

I got a empty file.

Please advise! Many thanks!

I was trying to check for the sort of some columns (say 1-10) of particular file.

goo

GOO(1)							      General Commands Manual							    GOO(1)

NAME

       goo, g2c - generic object-orientator (programming language)

SYNOPSIS

       goo
       g2c

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the goo and g2c commands.

       goo  and  g2c  interactively  evaluate  statements  in GOO, a dynamic, type-based, object-oriented language in the same family as Dylan and
       Scheme.	The language is designed to be simple, productive, powerful, extensible, dynamic, efficient, and real-time.

       goo and g2c support two evaluation modes, controlled by the environment variable GOO_EVAL_MODE; the two commands differ only in which  mode
       is  the	default.  In ast mode (short for "abstract syntax tree", and the default for goo), they directly interpret parsed goo expressions.
       In g2c mode (the default for g2c), they instead translate expressions into dynamically compiled C code.

OPTIONS

       None.

USAGE

       Typing goo or g2c at your shell will start up a goo read-eval-print loop, which accepts s-expressions  and  top-level  commands	commencing
       with a comma.  The following is a list of available commands:

       ,quit  Exit the program.

       ^C (control-C)
	      Invoke a recursive read-eval-print loop.

       ,g2c-eval
	      Change to dynamic compilation evaluation.

       ,ast-eval
	      Change to ast evaluation.

       ,in ,name
	      Change to module name.

ENVIRONMENT

       GOO_EVAL_MODE
	      Determines evaluation mode, as documented in DESCRIPTION above.

       GOO_ROOT
	      Installation root (/usr on Debian systems); files needed at runtime can be found under ${GOO_ROOT}/lib/goo.

SEE ALSO

       The full GOO reference manual: /usr/share/doc/goo/goo.pdf.gz or /usr/share/doc/goo/manual/goomanual.html .

AUTHOR

       goo was written by Jonathan Bachrach.

       This  manual page was written by Aaron M. Ucko <ucko@debian.org>, for the Debian project based on Jonathan's documentation (but may be used
       by others).
