sort: Sort a file in ascending order.
$ sort ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "sort ${filename}" is a Unix/Linux command used to sort the contents of a file in alphabetical or numerical order.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sort" is the actual command that performs the sorting operation.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to sort. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file, including the file extension (e.g., "example.txt").
When you run this command, it will read the contents of the specified file and sort them alphabetically by default. The sorted output will be displayed on the terminal screen, but the original file will remain unchanged.
