Sort files as pair file

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to sort file in directory by pair name :

I am looking to get the extension

.txt

above the

.arch

like this if possible

liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2_R20120314.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2.R20120314.arch
liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1_R20120321.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1.R20120321.arch
liste_VITRINE_PSY4V1R3_R20120321.txt
flag.VITRINE_PSY4V1R3.R20120321.arch

Thanks for your help

Hi.

Shuffling:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1	Demonstrate paste used a shuffle mechanism.

pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C paste

FILE1=${1-data1}
FILE2=${2-data2}

pl " Input files $FILE1 $FILE2 simulating an ls:"
cat $FILE1 $FILE2

pl " Results, paste (as a kind of shuffle):"
paste -d'\n' $FILE1 $FILE2

exit 0

producing:

% ./s1

You can arrange the filenames to suit your desired arrangement.

See man pages for details ... cheers, drl

Thanks DRL for your help,

but I am on ksh (solaris 9) !

Is there a command line instead of a script to make this to work ?

Thanks

Hi.

It's better to state your OS, shell, etc. upfront rather than as an afterthought.

On my system:

% ksh
$ paste -d'\n' <( ls -1 l*.txt ) <( ls -1 f*.arch )
liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2_R20120314.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY1V2R2.R20120314.arch
liste_NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1_R20120321.txt
flag.NATIVE_HINDCAST_PSY2V3R1.R20120321.arch
liste_VITRINE_PSY4V1R3_R20120321.txt
flag.VITRINE_PSY4V1R3.R20120321.arch

For:

OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) 
ksh 93s+

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Hi.

This is a more complete listing, closer to your environment:

#!/usr/bin/env ksh

# @(#) s4       Demonstrate paste used as a shuffle mechanism.

pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && . $C paste

FILE1=${1-data1}
FILE2=${2-data2}

pl " Input filenames:"
ls -1 f*.arch l*.txt

pl " Results, paste (as a kind of shuffle):"
paste -d'\n' <( ls -1 l*.txt ) <( ls -1 f*.arch )

exit 0

producing:

$ ./s4
