Created page with "'''Sort''' - Sorts a file FROM/A, TO/A, COLSTART/K, CASE/S, NUMERIC/S <nowiki> FROM - File to sort TO - Fil..."

New page

'''Sort''' - Sorts a file

FROM/A, TO/A, COLSTART/K, CASE/S, NUMERIC/S
<nowiki>
FROM - File to sort
TO - File where to send sorted results
COLSTART - Specifies the character column at which the comparison begins
Sort starts comparing the lines from that point, wrapping around
to the beginning of the line if the compared lines match to the end
CASE - Specify this to output uppercase items first
NUMERIC - The lines are interpreted as numbers from the first column
reading to the right, stopping at the first non-numeric character
Lines not beginning with numbers are treated as 0
The lines are output in numerical order
CASE is ignored when NUMERIC is specified</nowiki>

Example:
<nowiki>
MorphOS:> Sort DH0:Glossary TO RAM:Glossary.alpha</nowiki>
: => sorts the lines in the Glossary file, arranges them alphabetically, and outputs them to a next file called Glossary.alpha. The case of the words is disregarded.
