How to sort a character-type field, numerically

I'm trying to sort a SQL table that contains a character-type field that contains mostly numbers. This field always contains either a number or a number followed by a character. Like '57' or '57a'. I'd like to sort the table *numerically* on this field, not *alphabetically* on this field. That is

RE: file upload to MySql

You can do the upload with a form. Read any HTML reference and check out the tag. The web server will store the uploaded file as a temporary file. Your form handler will have to store it someplace permanent. This is pretty simple using the CGI module. Check out the CGI module documentation for co

RE: real beginner's question

This does sound like an ideal job for Perl, but I think you need to give us more info on what you want to do. For instance, translate all 'i's inside the braces to 'x's, or substitute one sequence of characters for another. An example or scenario would be helpful here. -- John # -Original Me
