Right now there is no unix direct commad that can sort the files base on its name having numbers:
We can use the following:
In case your file name are like:
abc-UP018.zip
xyz-UP019.zip
ls *|sort -t'-' -k2
What is your question?
Anyway, shouldn't that be: ls | sort -t'-' -nk2.3
Thanks for your feedback.
- this was not a question but an information.
- yes, we can use the one given by you in case the name pattern UP<number>.zip is not the same.
