I have a largish file with 4 fields, separated by the '|' symbol. Reading the sort man page suggests that I can sort on only the first field and I want to sort on the first field, then on the second field, then on the third field.
Trying to sort just the first field causes bash to complain bitterly: [rshepard@salmo ~/projects/nevada/queenstake/stats]$ sort -t=| streams.txt > out.txt -bash: ./streams.txt: Permission denied sort didn't like the -o=outputfile option so I tried redirecting. What other tool would allow me to do a hierarchical sort of a 15K row file?
