I'll give you a hint. This is perfectly legal:
my @array = <STDIN>; Let me know if you still can't figure it out. -----Original Message----- From: Grant Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help on Arrays - Beginner Hello All, I am new to Perl and I will admit up front this is for a Perl course. However, the course is online and thus timely communication from the instructor is not always possible, so I am hoping someone will steer me in the right direction. The assignment has to do with taking a file, and reading it to <STDIN>, modifying each line, sort and then print. Here is the Input: Grant Hansen Dave Thomas Roger Starbauch Here is the intended output: Hansen, Grant Starbauch, Roger Thomas, Dave Here is my code: while(<STDIN>) { chomp(@lines = split); @lines1 = $lines[1] . ", " . $lines[0]; @lines2 = sort (@lines1); print "@lines2 \n"; } My code is not sorting correctly and I know why (I sort after each line of input), I just don't know how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
