$ sort -t'\\' sort: unrecognized option `-\' Unix98 doesn't require this to work, but it works on Solaris, and it's an odd anomaly. sort -t'x' works as expected.
Are you sure this works in Solaris? Looks incorrect to me... It's sort -t'\' or sort -t"\\" or is sort -t'\\' supposed to do anything else?
ah, you're right. my mistake. it happens to work on solaris because solaris's sort ignores extra junk after the -t option. 'sort -tfoo' is equivalent to 'sort -tf'. thanks.
