I have a bunch of files numbered from 1-over 2000 without leading zeros (think rfc's)... They have names with a non-numeric prefix & suffix around the number.
It would be nice if sort had the option to ignore non-numeric data and only sort on the numeric data in the 'lines'/'files'. Yeah, I can renumber and rename them all, but I just wanted an instant command that could sort numeric values even if embedded in a line, where the "field" was determined by the start/stop of numeric characters. Or is there an options for this already, and my manpage out of date? Thx -l
