Hi nauman9004 and welcome to LQ,

Bumping your own thread after just an hour is not done (although I do see now that you added a second question), it also has another side-effect: It takes you of the zero reply list (all post with no replies are cycled to give them more exposure).

About your first request: Which 2 numbers need to be compared and how are these numbers entered (by hand, in a file)?

About your second request: Have a look at the sort command.

Hope this helps.

Sort the number
 

hello druuna
four numbers are there 0001 , 0002 ,0001,0003 i want to compare these number and sort these numbers these numbers are get from file

Hi,
You have a file with 4 numbers (4? your other posts show 5 numbers). Do these numbers need to be compared to each other or to something else? Please tell us in more details what you want/need.

Already answered this one: Look at the sort command (man sort for details and options).

Hope this helps.

If the numbers are on separate lines you can use
if they are on one line separated by , you must first change the , to a newline

Firstly compare these numbers then sort it.These four or five or six numbers limit is not there.

well you've already been told about sort. What do you mean by comparing? just comparing two numbers doesn't *do* anything...

thanks whizje for sorting it is okay

And I'll pipe up as the third one to ask: what are you comparing them to?
In which way do you need to compare them?
