Let's say I only want the 50 most common lines of a file:
cat textfile | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 50 | tr -s ' ' | cut -f2
Have I ever mentioned that 'sort | uniq -c' really ought to be folded
into sort proper? (Not to get rid of 'uniq', but 'sort | uniq -c | sort
-n' is far less efficient than a good tree algorithm... which is exactly
why I wrote such a critter. When analyzing the output of 'strings' on a
multi-GB core file, it makes a WORLD of difference...)
