awk how to sort within a row from left to right within row?
I have a project I am using awk to try to resolve. I'm new to awk and still learning. I know you can write functions in awk but I'm not exaxtly sure how to do it. I have a large datafile with xml type tags. Each row refers to a unique item and contains a different number of attribute fields. I need to sort the rows based on numbered tags in that row from lowest to highest and remove duplicates. Is it possible to do this within each row using awk??
