Thank you very much Tim.
Sorry that my reply came to you and not to the list.
Thanks also for your regex.
This one is maybe even easier:
:%sort! n /^\(.\{-}\zs[|;:]\)\{'.columnnr.'}/
Hope that someone will answer also to the shell settings.
(btw I use the vim windows version (not the cygwin vi version).
Sure I will use the vim sort command a bit more (and have to study it a bit more)
I still use the unix sort command to sort single columns (p.e.\\%2v)
P.e. to sort by column 4 and if there are equals sort by column 8.
This is very easy to do with the unix sort command, it seems to me much more difficult with the vim sort command.
However, thanks so far.
Rameo
