Can anyone recommend a quick and dirty way to sort a device list? For example, if I do this:
ls /dev/ad* | sort I get something like this: /dev/ad10 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 I can add -g, but it doesn't help: ls /dev/ad* | sort -g /dev/ad10 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 I need to skip the device prefix before applying the -g option. Something like this works: ls /dev/ad*|sort -g -k 1.8 /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 /dev/ad10 but this assumes the device name is just two characters long. I want a quick way to sort a generic device list like this, considering only the numeric part of the device for the key. Is there a quick and dirty way to do this or do I need to pipe it into a perl script or something? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
