sort a file

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/sort a file

hi !
i've a .bmx source file, i need sort it. Is there a tool to do this ?

The file contains this kind of lines :

TL.Create (566,"bullet ","")
TL.Create (030,"ship ","")
TL.Create (079,"weapon ","")


i want just sort by numbers ascending like this.

TL.Create (030,"ship ","")
TL.Create (079,"weapon ","")
TL.Create (566,"bullet ","")


Thanks for your ideas

Would it not be simpler to have the data stored in a text file (inbin'd if you like), and parse it at runtime?
That way you wouldn't have a need to sort source-code :-p

How's about this:

sort -n myfile.bmx > newfile.bmx


example:
xxxxxxxxxx:~> cat sorttest.txt
TL.Create (566,"bullet ","")
TL.Create (030,"ship ","")
TL.Create (079,"weapon ","")

xxxxxxxxxx:~> sort -n sorttest.txt
TL.Create (030,"ship ","")
TL.Create (079,"weapon ","")
TL.Create (566,"bullet ","")


Thanks brucey, the os sort function do the job !
