I'd like to rearrange the content of a file on a per line basis (see below), ideally without using Perl or Python (I'm not allowed to... Don't ask.)
The input file contains unordered header lines and lines with backup operation results. The output files should contain the lines ordered as shown below.
Original file:
Completed Backups
Backups with Warnings
Failed Backups
Server A backup was completed with warnings
Server B backup was successful
Server C backup failed
Server D backup was completed with warnings
End result:
Completed Backups
Server B backup was successful
Backups with Warnings
Server A backup was completed with warnings
Server D backup was completed with warnings
Failed Backups
Server C backup failed
