Do you need to be in front of the running machine ? Could you maybe video the machine going through its sequence - then record your voice-over later (either muting or turning down the machine audio, whichever is better) ? (Or, to put it another way, I have no real idea :-) but I'm sure

Paul. I see you have come to the dark side. Welcome. “Sort", and its newly reborn compound variant, works fine as "sort it ascending numeric by word 1 of each && word 2 of each && word 3 of each” Since “lines” are the default, all one needs, and I mentioned this on the forum, is to determine

Hi Keith, that code will fail for any commas which occur within quoted entries - they will be wrongly converted to TABs I'd suggest getting cvsToTab (a community effort by Richard Gaskin, me and a whole host of others over the years) as a good starting place, and perhaps finishing place. It

This code sits early in the process of preparing CSV file data (from files that I didn’t create, so their content is unknown) into TSV text for onward processing. So, the logic here is attempting to address the very concerns that you raise, albeit in reverse order i.e. - remove any tab

I'm confused by the code, above. If you are using tab as your column delimiter, then you wouldn't replace it with a space, since your tsv/csv files would have tabs in them when they were exported, originally. In any case, when you are going to replace a character with another character, you should

All those forum efforts (except Richard's) ignore that the dictionary entry states that the "sort" command is a stable sort precisely so that you can do multiple sorts to sort by multiple chunks Whether you do   sort lines of tText by word 3 of each   sort lines of tText by word 2 of each
