Hi All
Hi All,
I have 2 silly questions.
I am going to have a file which is delimited by bang symbol (|).
1st and 2nd fields are numeric.
I need to sort by 2nd, 1st field.
I beleive my sort command will look like:
sort -t | -k 2,2n -k 1,1n file_name
Above command seems to work. However, if I omit second sort qualifier and run:
sort -t | -k 2,2n file_name
It still produces the right result.
Why?
... and second question:
According to man pages '-k b[n],[e][n] m defines beginning sort field and e -
ending sort field.
Should be correct coding for 2nd and 1st field be -k 2,3 -k 1,2 ?
