filter commands
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 11:28 am
Hello All,
I need some help in understanding the filter command option on the seqfile stage. When do we use these filter commands and what kind of filter commands we can use in the Filter command text box. Can we use any kind of UNIX commands?
I tried to use the sort command using the -t"|" -k1 option to sort the input file on column1 but it did not work meaning the job was successful but it did not sort the file.
What is difference in using a sort command in the before routine and in the filter command in the seq file stage. What I can think of at this time is, if the seq file stage is in between the job design (not as source) and want to use some commands on the file we can make use of this filter command option. Is that true?
thanks
