[SunHELP] sort

[Andrew Vendryes]

Hello,

This should do it:

	sort -n -t. -k 1,1 -k 2,2 -k 3,3 -k 4,4 foo.in > foo.out

Check the man page for more information on the switches. Also, since you
are asking this type of question I am going to throw this in while I am at it:

Never do something like this :

	"sort foo > foo" 

Because the first thing that sort does is to create the output file. In
this case, because the output file is also the input file, you will wind up
with a zero length input file and no data to sort.
