Ad: Re: join ?

[Maarten . Vanneste]

Hmmm, Thanks for the very quick reply ! Indeed, I manage to get it working 
with sort (no specifications). I sorted it before as well, to no avail, 
but then I used sort -n or -g.

Have a nice weekend !
Maarten

$ echo 84 150 | gawk '{for (i=$1;i<=$2;i++) printf "%i %s\n", i,"A"}' | 
sort -c -k 1b,1
sort: -:17: disorder: 100 A
