Hi all,
I have a cvs file as follows :
id,first_name,last_name,company_name
I want to sort this on first name. Doing
cat file.csv | sort
sorts starting at the beginning of the line.
Is there a way for sort to sort a file based on a field delimited by a
character, or should I just use a perl script ?
Thanks,
--
