Here is the simplest solution and it does what I want without resorting to
awk:
for i in `/bin/ls -1 lists*`; do
sed '/./{H;d;};x;s/\n/={NL}=/g' $i | sort | sed
'1s/={NL}=//;s/={NL}=/\n/g' >
$i.sorted.txt
done
I bow before a Master.
So, I'm trying to parse this...
I don't know what "NL" does. From my reading I see the N command adds the
current line to the pattern space with a newline character. I can't figure out what
the "L" does, though, or if NL is a different command than "N"
followed by "L"
