Is there a solution for windows?
I do have a dual boot ubuntu though.

Also the names don't have a space between them but there is a character sequence that acts like a space, but I don't know how to automate that.

>>56337608
I'd go with python, easy and fast

Perl

>>56337608
awk

I like python but it's probably the slowest of the widely used languages right now.

>>56337547
Python works.

>>56337766
I meant fast to write (at least for me), but otherwise you're totally right.

Why wouldn't you do this in languages specifically designed for this kind of workload?

AWK or Perl.

What the actual fuck?

Why would you even

sort txt_file | uniq | grep pattern | another_application

When you compare speeds are you talking about trivial things like OP said or something more complex? What sort of speed difference are we talking about here?

Also, once I sort them, I want to be able to automatically to paste them into other programs.

I mean, it's not only text sorting.
Python is best for that, right?

Not giving a fuck whether the input stream comes from a file, stdin, pipe or your mother's cunt has been the cornerstone of UNIX philosophy since nineteen-fucking-seventies, you twat.

you can use regular expressions or similar for the sequence. They exist in a shitton of languages

Python is by far the best for what you're asking.
Disregard everyone else.

>>56338293
DONE.

unique = set(sys.stdin)
unique = sorted(unique)
for item in unique:
    print item

Care to elaborate?

>>56338293
>>56337547
Define what you mean by paste into another application? Actually using the clipboard or pipe into the other program or save as another file to open in the other program?
