- NAME
- Sort - Sort a file
-
- Synopsis
- Sort FROM <file> TO <file> <start col> <for width> <case
- sensitive>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Sort attempts to remedy the defects of the AmigaDOS sort
- command. It sorts text files, and you may specify, using
- the CASE keyword, whether or not the sort is case sensitive.
- The default is to ignore case. You may specify a column to
- start sorting at, and/or the number of characters per line
- to examine during the sort (the width). Unlike the AmigaDOS
- sort command, this program is quite fast even for very large
- files, and it will not crash the Amiga if your file is too
- large to sort, it simply informs you that it cannot sort
- your file. This is not likely to happen, since Sort can
- handle most files that will fit into the memory of the
- computer.
-
- Example
- list >listfile
-
- sort listfile colstart 32
-
- Gives a listing of all files sorted by time (i.e., from the
- earliest to the latest).
