Short: Sorts ASCII-Files, FAAAAST, many different features Author: wernerr@iee1.et.tu-dresden.de (Ruediger Werner) Uploader: wernerr@iee1.et.tu-dresden.de (Ruediger Werner) Type: util/sys sort Version 1.46e by Rüdiger Werner NAME sort VERSION Version 1.46e SYNOPSIS sort [ ... ] [-acCdeEfgijJlnNopPrsSvx] DESCRIPTION sort does, what its name says -- it sorts ASCII-files in alphabetical order. There are many features (see doc-file) for manipulating the file(s) which are to be sorted. It works from Shell only. The sorting algorithm is very fast (Try it!!). I had to sort some large files. I searched for a usable sort-program, but I didn't found. Anyway, I implemented an algorithm and added some useful other features like erasing empty or double lines or picking out certain lines etc. For more information read the doc-file. In the unregistered version not all options work. DISCLAIMER This copy is unregistered. For registration read the doc-file. The program and files in this distribution are freely distributable.
