Hi, All!
I have a file with two important columns in it separated by spaces.
I'll call these col1 and col2. I need to sort the data by col2 and
then print col1 & col2 to a file. I know I CAN do it with perl, but
which way is faster for this kind of processing? Perl or Awk? I know
with awk, I can find a one-liner for the command line and I could
probably do that with perl, too (I'm just now refreshing myself on
perl command line options), but I just thought I'd get some
experienced opinions on the best way to do it.
Thanks in advance. May your sky be filled with perly clouds! ;-)
Aimee
