CS> Thank you
CS> Argument "2,1,1,1175,2.58522727272727,1\n" isn't numeric in printf at
./DOband1.pl line 47.
CS> my @report = map
"$_->{cell},$_->{sect},$_->{carr},$_->{chan},$_->{dist},$_->{precis}\n" ,
@sorted;
what is in @report? it is not a number. it is a string with numbers in
it along with commas and a newline
CS> printf '<%.2g>', @report ;
even if @report contained good data, that would only print 1
value. printf doesn't loop over its data. it only prints values for the
keys in the format string. you have only one format element in there.
if you want each value formatted, then use sprintf on each one before
you do the report. i leave that as an exercise for you.
