@ajames,
Maybe this can help you manually execute the workflow described by James.
1. Create an empty bbedit text document:
File > New > Text Document
2. Insert your files into the new document:
Edit > Insert > File Contents...
3. Check that the imports are separated by a blank line.
4. Copy this command:
perl -pe 's/(.)\n/\1\t/g' | sort | perl -pe 's/\t/\n/g'
5. Paste the command in:
Text > Run Unix Command...
6. Choose your preferred output options and click OK.
If you need to further automate the process you could create a shell script:
```
#!/bin/sh
cd "/PATH/TO/SOURCE/DIRECTORY" ; # Replace with the directory path.
cat * | perl -pe 's/(.)\n/\1\t/g' | sort | perl -pe 's/\t/\n/g' >
"/PATH/TO/OUTPUT_FILE.txt" ; # Replace with the output file path.
```
HTH
Best regards,
Jean Jourdain
