I find it there are some problem in using the 'sort' command to sort a
data-file, in Mac OS X 10.4.10. This 'sort' command distributed through
Coreutils - GNU core utilities.
For eg:
The command 'sort -g -k 1 t.txt' gives the following result.
1.46e-13 H
1.53e-11 H
1.54e-03 H
There is no '-g' option Mac OS X.10.4.10
-g, --general-numeric-sort
compare according to general numerical value
The correct answer should be and it is working fine in Mac OS X 10.4.2 and
in Linux:
1.46e-13 H
1.53e-11 H
1.54e-03 H
1.46e-01 N
I think this 'sort' problem exist in every where, even when we use the
'ls -trl' to list the file in a dir - mainly because many sort options not
included in the Mac OS X 10.4.10 version.
Any comments?
Thanks in advance,
