( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am a true perl novice and I need to sort the output of this code. I have @array with 96 lines in the array with 15 slices per line (in case I'm using the wrong terminology, $sorted[96][14] is the last referenceable slice. I need to sort by the $array[$j][4] slice before this block executes. I have searched the FAQs, and found several references similar to @sorted = sort {$b <=> $a} @array; but I can not find how to sort by a specific slice.
for $j (0 .. $#sorted) { print "<tr bgcolor=#888888><td>$sorted[$j][4]</td><td>$timecon</td><td +>$sorted[$j][3]</td><td>$sorted[$j][6]</td><td>$sorted[$j][7]. </td><td>$sorted[$j][5].</td><td>$sorted[$j][8]</td><td>$sorted[$j][9] +</td><td>$sorted[$j][11]</td><td>$sorted[$j][12].</td><td>$sor ted[$j][14].</td><td>$sorted[$j][13]</td></tr>\n\n"; }

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
