Hi,

Here is help for sort command on Windows98.


%sort /?
----------------------------------------------------------
Sorts input and writes results to the screen, a file, or another device

SORT [/R] [/+n] [[drive1:][path1]filename1] [>
[drive2:][path2]filename2]
[command |] SORT [/R] [/+n] [> [drive2:][path2]filename2]

  /R                         Reverses the sort order; that is, sorts Z
to A,
                             then 9 to 0.
  /+n                        Sorts the file according to characters in
                             column n.
  [drive1:][path1]filename1  Specifies file(s) to be sorted
  [drive2:][path2]filename2  Specifies a file where the sorted input is
to be
                             stored.
  command                    Specifies a command whose output is to be
sorted.
----------------------------------------------------------


I need to sort the file according to characters in _word_ (_field_) n.

Does DJGPP provides a program to help us do this on Windows98 ?

Thanks,
