# cdicsort(1)

To sort the text format dictionary.

## NAME

cdicsort - To sort the text format dictionary.

## SYNOPSIS

cdicsort  \<    *textdic*

## DEFAULT PATH

/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/cdicsort

## DESCRIPTION

This function allows user to sort the specified text format  dictionary, which is piped in as  *textdic.*

If the input text dictionary is not given, the input will be  taken from the standard input(stdin).   To end the input via standard input, press ^D.

"\<" means to pipe the  *textdic* as an input to "cdicsort"  command.

*textdic* is the text format dictionary.  The format of  this text file must be the same as that in the system text  format dictionary.  That is,

 \--------------------------------------------------

\|  Pinyin      Word       Cixing        Frequency  \|

\|   :           :          :              :        \|

 \--------------------------------------------------

Refer to cWnn manual for details.

By using "cdicsort", all the Pinyin tuples in   *textdic* will be sorted.

The result of "cdicsort" will be output to standard output  (stdout).  It may also be piped into a file by using the  "\>" command.  For example,

     cdicsort  \<  dict.u  \>  sort\_dict.u

"dict.u"  here is the input text format dictionary, while  the "sort\_dict.u" is the sorted text format dictionary.
