I have tried the variations I can think of to use the sort unix utility
with the do shell script command. I'm guessing that it's not possible. It
sure would be a handy to sort a string of lines on the fly. I'm new at all
this unix stuff as it is. Any ideas?
Here's one version of the random gibberish I've tried:
set MyText to ("b" & (ASCII character 10) & "c" & (ASCII character 10) &
"a" & (ASCII character 10) & (ASCII character 4))
set ShellCommand to "sort; echo " & MyText
set theResult to do shell script ShellCommand
Thanks,
Joe Weaks
