Hi!
I wanted to know how I can extract text from 30 files and have the results
written to a single file in decending order. Each file is NFL stats in pure
text. However, each header for the categories is the same for all files.
Here's an example.
filename: JETS
content as follows
RUSHING STATS
No Yds Avg Long Td
Curtis Martin 369 1287 3.5 60t 8
Leon Johnson 41 185 4.5 40 2
Jerald Sowell 40 164 4.1 33 0
Vinny Testaverde 24 104 4.3 25 1
Keyshawn Johnson 2 60 30.0 35t 1
<snipped>
Headers, spacing, columns, rows, etc. is "as is" in the file.
I was hoping there would be a way to extract this information from all
30 files [one per team] and make one file with these numbers in order.
In this case, the "Yds" category would be the determining sort order.
If successful, I intend to do the same for the other categories (Receiving,
Passing, Interceptions, etc.).
Although I am using UnixUtil for DOS [don't hate me for it! :)], it has
bmgrep, cgrep, fgrep, grep, sort, etc. and states that MOST switches that
work in unix will work in DOS. I know, it's not the "Real McCoy", but for
now, it's all I have.
Thanx,
Don
