Hello, I have some problems with the command sort : How can I specify the field seperator "\t" on sort command?
I try to sort a file which have a field seperator : a tabulation. I wrote : cat toto.file | sort -t \t -k 2n > result.txt but the second field (numeric field) in the result.txt file is not sorted. I tried some others command line like these: cat toto.file | sort -t "\t" -k 2n > result.txt cat toto.file | sort -t"\t" -k 2n > result.txt cat toto.file | sort -t\t -k 2n > result.txt cat toto.file | sort -t=\t -k 2n > result.txt cat toto.file | sort -t="\t" -k 2n > result.txt But nothing is good. Do you have a solution please ??? Thanks a lot for your help.
