Good evening everyone.

Anyone ever made a flow to alphabetically sort a text file with many lines each with a string?

Thank you.

I don't remember there is any, but I use it in one part of my AM text tools branch. I retrieve the text from clipboard, sort it and set back to clipboard. The script is one line with nested function.

Code: Select all

clip_data = join(removeElementValue(sort(split(text, "\\r?\\n")), ""), "\n");
Replace text witth the text variable (file_text if you init the text file) and clip_data to the sorted variable.
