Sort -u problem

[Hash-IT]

Hi San thanks for your help !

I am trying that switch now, I thought it would be something to do with the OS and not directly related to the sort command, I feel stupid now.

It doesn't seem to work for me.

Here is what I am trying.

test.txt is the text file to sort.

testsorted.txt is the text file I want to finish up with.

newtempfolder is where I would like the new temp files putting.

I try...

sort -T 'media/truecrypt4/words/newtempfolder' -u 'media/truecrypt4/words/test.txt' > 'media/truecrypt4/words/testsorted.txt'

I have a mounted truecrypt volume with everything in it. I know the path names are correct as I dragged them in so I couldn't mistype anything.

Nothing seems to happen.

I even changed this bit 'media/truecrypt4/words/newtempfolder/' to have a forward slash, still nothing.
