Alternate Printing of Lines Within a File
- Thread starter Mariko
- Start date
Hi Mariko,
If I understand your problem correctly, this should do it.
BEGIN
{
while ((getline < "file1"
> 0) {
i++;
if (i%2) print
}
close("file1"
i = 0
while ((getline < "file1" > 0) {
i++;
if (!(i%2)) print
}
exit
}
Hope this helps.

Why don't you try [tt]sort -n < inputfile > outputfile[/tt]?
I hope it works...
