| Hi,
Here is some data:
aaa,-1.09221e+06,-30955,35.569
bbb,1.13284e+06,67479,16.735
ccc,1.78407e+06,93986,20.9255
ddd,25.92,4,6.48
eee,108.65,25,4.32
I want to sort them by the second column. "sort -t, -n -k 2,2" does not
work. Maybe sort does not understand "e+06". Can any one help? I am
using /bin/sh on a solaris 8 server.
Thanks!

Your question has already been anwered in comp.unix.shell.
Please don't multipost. Use crosspost instead if you need to
post in several newsgroups at a time (which should not be the
case for this question).
