I want to doawk -F , '{print $1 }' inputfile1.txt | sort -u > distinctOutput.txtIs this good performance-wise ? Or should I redirect / use a temp file since I think it is better to make sort wait till awk is done dumping the complete output? Or is this taken care internally?(AIX 6.1)
Should I use piping or redirection for input to 'sort'
io redirection;pipe;sort
