I am rethinking whether I need the while and foreach so I have changed it to :
open (FOO, ">$scratches") || die "could not open file:$!";
open (D, "$logf") || die "could not open file:$!";
while (<D>) {
## look for 9840S and ebexpire
## declare OFS = tab
## tell split to split on IRS 0, 1 & 5. Very similar t
+o awk print $
if (($_ =~ /9840S/) && ($_ =~ /ebexpire, ebexpire/ ))
+{
local $, = "\t";
print F00 +(split)[0,1,5], $/;
print FOO (sort { $a <=> $b } $_ );
} # end if
} # end while
close (FOO);
close (D);
I am probably making this too hard, but I want to numerically sort the 3rd field. How do I combine the print FOO statements so that I am still spliting fields 0,1,5 while sorting on field 5?
thank you,

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).
