Hello everyone, i am trying to create an ignore list for my
bogofilter. I would like to ignore all words that are less than 4
characters. How can i sort my words list file by length of the words.
Thanks.

If you only want to ignore the lines that contain less than four
characters, simply use grep:
grep '....' words
If, however, you need to sort the words by length, here is one solution:
awk '{ print $0,length }' words | sort -k2n | awk '{ print $1 }'

Thanks Guys, I ended up using cat file|perl -e 'print sort
{ length($b) <=> length($a) } <>' but opted not to use any ignore
files.
