, yet. It just grabs the message stream from STDIN, copies it to a file and prints it back to STDOUT. But, with an extra space prepended to each line after the first one. The extra space is in both the saved file and the STDOUT stream. I know it's got to be something simple, but wh

Please forgive my ignorance, but I can't figure out what this is doing. This routine correctly sorts @lines (array of lines with tab delimited fields) by column 4. # Step 3 - assumes columns 3 and 4 contain numeric data my @sorted = map { $_->[2] } sort { $a->[0] <=> $b->[0] || $a-

The following sort-code came from an old CPAN page. It seems to work just fine (it sorts a tab-delimited text file by the 3rd column), but if I have warnings (-w) turned on the compiler throws a whole bunch of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings about the line that starts "@newrefs ". What

I have to sort before I remove the lines at the top because the lines that have the zeros in column 5 are not at the top. The whole point of the task is not to sort the data, but to filter unneeded data. Some zeroes in column 5 are okay, but the redundant ones are the ones at the top after sort

I suppose it does look a little bizarre. Actually, my goal is a little more complex. We have a simulation that outputs data files, but often up to 90% of the data is redundant. So I'm trying to write a filter for the data. I have to: 1. open and load the file 2. strip all comments (marked
