Hi, I have a file with 2 columns. First lists the space of the folder and the second the folder name. Sample below:
2.1M test1 220K test2 2.2G test3 2.2M test4 22M test5 22M test6 2.2M test7 230M test8 232K test9 I want to sort the file based on the space usage. Currently it is just sorting based on the number. Is there a way to sort it the other way round. Like making a stream editor first read each line upto a point it reaches a non-numeric character then if the following character is K then divide by 1024, if it is G multiply by 1024 and so on and then sort the file. Is this possible. I do not know to work well with stream editors and regexs'. Please advise.
