I have a file with more than 10000 lines like this, mostly numbers and some strings;
-40
-50
stringA
100
20
-200
…
I would like to write a bash (or other) script that reading this file only outputs numbers (no strings) and only those values smaller than zero (or some other predefined number). How can this be done?
In this case the output (sorted) would be
-40
-50
-200
…
The $1==$1+0 ensure that the string is a number, it will then check that it is less than THRESHOLD_VALUE (change this to whatever number you wish. Print it out if it passes, and sort.
