My sincerest apologies to everyone for resending this (again!). Apparently, yahoo's
"spell check"
function interpolates escaped characters, thus rendering my code a pile of junk. I
think I've
fixed this.
Again, sorry for the confusion and the inadvertent spam :(

Aack! My email client (mail.yahoo.com) has substituted all for the 'backslash' n's
with literal
newlines, thus making my code virtually unreadable. I hope this hasn't happened to
anyone else,
or what you read below may be very confusing.

hi,
I have the following string
$a =
"buy 10/23/01 100 12.625 50 25.25 \n
buy 10/25/01 100 12.625 50 25.25 \n
buy 09/1/01 100 12.625 50 25.25 \n
buy 1/23/01 100 12.625 50 25.25 \n";
I would like to sort this by the date (ie the second field) in the
above string.
So it looks like this:
$
