I have a file called abc . The content of abc is: ccc abc

I have a file called abc. The content of abc is:

ccc
abc
ccc
ccc
a
b
dd
ccc

I want to sort the lines of the file and delete all duplicates (in this case ccc are duplicates).

In the shell script I use this:

sort -u < $1

But the sorted result becomes the standard output instead of saved into the abc file. How do I do this?

    You can redirect output to a file as

    sort -u < $1 > abc
