- COMMAND: SORTF DOCUMENTATION : On-line
-
- FUNCTION: Reads data from one ASCII file, sorts the records, and writes the
- data to another file.
-
- FORMAT: SORTF [d:][path]infilespec [d:][path]outfilespec [/R] [+nnn]
-
- TYPE: Public domain software, Version 2.0
-
- REMARKS: /R changes the sort order from ascending to descending.
- /+nnn indicates the first position of the record key (default=1).
- SORTF is an enhanced version of the DOS SORT command that takes
- larger files and less time. Records read from the infile ending
- with a carriage return AND line feed are treated as logical records
- and may be up to 255 characters long. If the in or out files are
- omitted, you are prompted for them. The records are sorted in
- ascending ASCII character order, unless /R is specified to reverse
- the order. The key is taken from the first character position,
- unless the /+nnn option is used to specify the location of the first
- character of the key. The first 12 characters at that position are
- used as the record key.
