[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hallo,

The output of my grep command is:

# grep -i "sshd" /root/access.report | egrep -o
 '(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-
9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)'
64.227.127.122
172.169.5.249
172.169.6.164

35.84.141.160
159.65.29.253

The expected return of sort (sort -urbn) is:

178.128.44.128
172.169.6.164
172.169.5.249
172.168.40.186

35.86.214.67
35.84.141.160
35.84.0.64
34.223.41.242
13.64.194.111


The actual return of sort is:

# grep -i "sshd" /root/access.report  egrep -o
 '(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)'
| sort -urbn
178.128.44.128
172.169.5.249
172.168.40.186
159.65.29.253
142.93.95.82
115.231.78.8
71.6.134.231
64.227.127.122
45.56.94.150
45.155.91.30
35.94.106.188
35.86.214.67
35.84.0.64
34.223.41.242
13.64.194.111

The expected return is only achieved by calling sort twice.

 egrep -o
 '(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)'
| sort -urb | sort -nr
178.128.44.128
172.169.6.164
172.169.5.249
172.168.40.186
159.65.29.253
142.93.95.82
115.231.78.8
71.6.134.231
64.227.127.122
45.56.94.150
45.155.91.30
35.94.106.188
35.86.214.67
35.84.141.160
35.84.0.64
34.223.41.242
13.64.194.111
