Short: V1.11 - Bugfix - Sorts ASCII-lists
Author: shark@nwn.de (Andreas Etzrodt)
Uploader: shark@nwn.de (Andreas Etzrodt)
Type: text/misc
This program sorts ASCII-lists with up to 10.000 items.
The features:
- sorts files with up to 10.000 items
- *very* easy to use (WB-Version with ASL-Requestor, CLI-version
with only two arguments)
- deletes blank characters
- deletes blank lines
- can print the destination-file on the printer
(with or without line-numbers!)
- very fast (at <1000 items)
The negative "features":
- very slow (at >1000 items - but I'm working on it)
How to use:
SHARKsoft-WB can be run by double-clicking its icon. It's so
simple to use that I don't want to write a doc.
SHARKsoft (the CLI-version) needs two arguments:
sharksoft <inputfile> <outputfile>
eg. sharksoft s:user-startup ram:sorted-startup
Yes, it's really THAT simple...
New in 1.11:
- a very bad bug was removed. I'm very sorry that I have released
SHARKsort in such a state (it crashed the system). I hope this
will never happen again. It worked fine (as it should) but AFTER
saving the file it crashed. This bug only appeared in the CLI-
version and has been fixed.
- some corrections in the Readme.
New in 1.1:
- optimized the way how SHARKsort deletes characters and lines
(in 1.0 it used two passes - now it's only one pass)
- added a CLI-version. The CLI-version cannot print a file on
the printer. Also it doesn't use ASL-requestors. Instead you
have to pass two arguments: "inputfile" and "outputfile".
