Trying to sort on two fields, second then first This got me thinking along the right lines - thanks for that. But don't you need to specify the stop point for the second -k. That is -k2,2 -k1,1 otherwise the stop point is taken as end of line? |

Trying to sort on two fields, second then first You nailed it. I had assumed (a dangerous thing to do) that specifying -k1 would mean use field 1, where the field ends at the default field separator (space). But as you clearly point out, the k option expects you to specify the start and stop points of the key, which may or may not be a single field. Your solution works perfectly, and more importantly, I am clear on why it does so. Many thanks. |

Reformatting a large number of XML files This looks like a good approach if I should need to do more complex manipulation in the future. Thanks for the response. |
