Hi All,

I am trying to sort a tab delimited file with sort. The problem I am
having is with the -t option. I can not get it to accept a tab.

Things I have tried:

sort -t \t
sort -t '\t'
sort -t "\t"
sort -t 0x09
sort -t '0x09'
sort -t "0x09"
sort -t ^I
sort -t '^I'
sort -t "^I"

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
