| I have a .txt file, with ascii lines of 5 characters each, and I want to sort it. Currently I use (windows' sort): ---------------------------- ExecFile "sort "+pat$+ff$+" /o "+pat$+"t.txt":Delay 200:Repeat:Until FileType(pat$+"t.txt")=1 DeleteFile pat$+ff$:Delay 200:Repeat:Until FileType(pat$+ff$)=0 CopyFile pat$+"t.txt",pat$+ff$:Delay 200:Repeat:Until FileType(pat$+ff$)=1 DeleteFile pat$+"t.txt":Delay 200:Repeat:Until FileType(pat$+"t.txt")=0 -------------------- but sometimes it didnt work. Maybe the execute running on 2nd plane has something about it... Has someone a function to short such a file or something I can use? |

| it is something like ExecFile "sort file.txt to file2.txt" deletefile "file.txt" copyfile "file2.txt","file.txt" deletefile "file2.txt" |

| There's a load of sort functions in the code archives, I seem to remember. |
