Description: Simple command line program, that may be used to merge text files. The program takes as input several text files and
produces as output another text file, with the lines of all the input files and these sorted depending on the command line parameters. Beside simple sorts
(alphabetically ordering the lines of the file), the program also allows to sort the lines, based on one or several sort keys, these sort keys corresponding
to the text contained in a given column, i.e. the text at a given position within the line. This works, of course only, if the text data is organized in
columns with fixed positions (and these columns being separated by spaces). Cf. the readme file, included in the download archive, for more information.
Note for programmers: The program doesn't contain any merge algorithm. In fact, it reads the lines of all input files and appends them
within a temporary file, which is then sorted to create the output file.
Free Pascal features: Recursion. Quick Sort algorithm. Using the functions of the LazUTF8 unit with command line programs. Reading, writing
and appending text files.
