Thank you for your report. But you did not include very much information. I do not think we can isolate your problem based upon what you provided. > when i use this syntaxis to sort files who content dates separated by / in the >format dd/mm/YYYY I can get the result but it doesn't work if i use it in the >crontab (background) and if I have several dates in the same file the sort command >blank my result. Because you say it works differently when run from cron versus when run from you on the command line I suspect environment variables are different. Check 'LANG' and make sure it is set the same in both. echo $LANG If you can provide a small test case that completely recreates the problem it would help. Here is an example. cat > testfile <<EOF one two three EOF export LC_ALL=POSIX sort < testfile one three two Also, we will need to know the version of sort. sort --vesion locale uname -a Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
