hns - human numeric sort
|
hns < input [> output] |
||
|
hns < <(...) [> output] |
||
|
... | hns [> output] |
Note:
The name of the command varies — there are also
hns+ and hxs. See SYMLINKS.
A "human numeric" sorting program — does what sort -h is supposed to do!
(That is to say, it does what you likely already thought or may’ve assumed GNU/BSD sort -h does.)

xargs -I{} bash -c "echo {{}} > {}"
2
seq 0 1000

awk ’{printf "mv %s topsecret_%s.json\n", $0, $0}’

3
parallel
4
paste <(seq 0 1000) <(hns < <(echo
topsecret_[[:digit:]]*.json))

awk ’{mv %s topsecret_%04d.json\n", $2, $1}’ | parallel
Use as part of a pipeline to fix accidentally unzeropadded numbers :-)

1 |
write some top secret JSON-format files as 0..=1000 | ||
|
2 |
move them to .json file extensions | ||

luckily we have hns! |
When run as hns+, negative numbers are not considered. This is ever so slightly faster. When run as hxs, hexadecimal numbers are sorted appropriately (but "negative hexadecimals", a seemingly? useless concept, ignored).
