Schwartz Tue, 02 Jan 2007 09:38:26 +0000 http://www.freemacunix.com/pipes/#comment-596 Although you can certainly pipe a cat into sort as you've shown, it's easier to type and more efficient to simply put the filename after sort. In the manner you've done it, you've triggered my "Useless Use of Cat Award" response. Too bad.

Just keep hitting tab until you see the filename you want, then continue typing. By adding the line
