Hello!
I have an issue with sorting or pasting. Do not know what the problem is, been trying to fix it for days. I think I'm stupid.
My home task sounds like this: create 100 files with 1 random number ranging from 1 to 1000.
Then paste all numbers from those 100 files to 1 complete file and sort it from smallest to highest.
This is my script:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf DATA
mkdir DATA
for x in {1..100}
do
touch DATA/$x.txt
shuf -i 1-1000 -n 1 > DATA/$x.txt
done
paste DATA/*.txt > DATA/ALL.txt
sort -g DATA/ALL.txt > DATA/ALL_sorted.txt
Problem is that all the data in ALL.txt is not in one column but in many and file ALL_sorted.txt is the same. Nothing sorts nothing.
HELP! I think the issue is in pasting but dunno.
