Linux sorting the files seperated with '|' character
I am having troubles with sorting in the Linux. First time evr using it. So I have file named testfile with the following info:
AAA BBB | 45
Jake | 36
Sam Sam | 40
How can I sort testfile by the numeric value? I have tried to use this:
sort -k 2n tesfile
But it did not helped tried to cut the file till the '|' character and then sort also did not helped. I also tried -t key in sort, but seems like it does not work too.
sort -t"|", -k 1n testfile
No Events found!

It seems that you want to sort by the last column. If it is the case, look at:
