Hi monks , this stupid sorting problem is driving me crazy :
I have the following input :
7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
I am trying search first by the third field and then by the first one so I want my output to look like this :
8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
the problem is , I keep getting the following :
7 modify ldfapg pub abc.h
8 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
9 delete bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
10 modify bfxml dtd/src newfiles.ksh
using sort +2 +0 -n file
the third field should be sort based on the first letter and the first based on the number . thanks
