Oh, that's because uniq thinks that two lines are different if your characters TK,CL... and the rest of the line are different. If you want to count lines only by the number following CallId you should tell uniq to compare only the first characters in the line: $ cat hadi | sort | uniq -c -w 9 | sort -n | perl -ne 'print unless /(\d+)/ and $1 < 3' 4 CallId 91 State TK Bts 5 Bt 1 Tr (4 0x0f) E1 (4 0 18) Tru (0 1 1) 7 CallId 92 State CL Bts 7 Bt 1 Tr (6 0x0a) E1 (3 1 22) Tru (0 0 0) 7 CallId 94 State TK Bts 7 Bt 1 Tr (6 0x0f) E1 (7 0 15) Tru (0 0 2) 7 CallId 9 State TK Bts 7 Bt 2 Tr (13 0x09) E1 (4 1 5) Tru (0 3 0) (note -w 9). -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
