grep issue

[AceAll]

hey,

I am working on processing large number of files in a directory ..These files are of this format ..

<code>
abc-number
abc-def-number
abc-ghi-number
</code>

I would like to sort these files according to the number that is
displayed in the end. If I use <i>wildcard</i> after first word, then it searches
for all the other variants as well.

Like search for abc, i get results of abc-def and abc-ghi as well.

Using delimiter ($) by the end of the string will prevent me from sorting the
number that occurs by the end of it.

Let me know if there is any workaround to search for the exact <i>word-number</i> to
start processing.

Hi.

1) The forum markup codes use square brackets, [ ], not < >.

2) Your post confuses me: the title is grep issue, yet you seem to be talking about sorting.

3) To get the best solutions and/or workarounds, I suggest that you post a representative sample of the data, and your expected output to avoid ambiguity.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl (50)
