Hi,
I have an ascii data file, using | as the field separator, and I want to
be able to sort that file's 5th field, the price field, in descending
order from highest to lowest price.
I can not seem to get the sort command to accept the | field separator.
I get the error: option '-t' requires an argument
My command line is sort +4rn -5 -t| datafile.dat -o datafile.dat.sorted
I am using r to sort in reverse order from highest number to lowest, and n
to denote numeric field. I have been through the man pages and can not see
what I am doing wrong. Any help much appreciated.
Gary
