Hello all, My hash keys look something like this:
>1234 x5 So I am thinking a cmp, as opposed to <=> is best. What I want is for the keys to be sorted as follows: >1 x.... >2 x.... >3 x.... .. .. .. >n x.... This is what I have in my script at the moment: my @sort_this = keys %final_list; my @sorted = sort { $a cmp $b } @sort_this; for (@sorted) { print OUT "$_\n$final_list{$_}\n" } This gives >1 x.... >10 x.... >100 x.... >1000 x.... >1001 x.... etc. Any suggestions? I'm not asking for you to spell it out for me with code and all unless you really want to. Sorry if this is a dumb question. cheers, nathanael "I think for my lunch tomorrow I'll make a tuna and pickle triangle bunwich." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
