Hi there I'm working with fasta sequences and I've created files that are in a tabular format. Of the columns contained in the file I want to extract the second (order name) and the 24th (bit score), I then want to sort the unique instances in a descending numerical order.



I've tried:



awk 'print $2,$24' LB.blasted.fasta | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn > test1



yet if I remove the $24 in the statement block I end up with the same results, both of which include things like query, Database, BLASTN, 500, and Fields: score, as listed elements. How do I filter this out? Or is there a better way to extract 2 columns and have them sorted numerically?
