Re: Custom Sort Array

What about trying Schwartzian transform:

use strict;
use warnings;

 print join $/ => map{$_->[0]}
 sort{$a->[1] <=> $b->[1]}
 map{[$_,/.+?-(\d+)\..+$/]}<DATA>;


__DATA__
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-0.gz

Yes, I believe that is the concept I was looking for, but your example I am still only getting the same array I got before. Am I missing something simplistic? Sorry also, there is a 1, it doesn't just go 0,2,etc. There's a 1, so the 1 shows up before the 10, and 11, then the 2 shows up. This goes well beyond just 1, however. Logs can go as far as 99, so I need a solution that will organize them up to the point of this final -##.gz in the name from 0-99+ in numeric order `foreach (@files) { my $file = $_; print join $/ => map{$_->[0]} sort{$a->[1] <=> $b->[1]} map{[$_,/.+?-(\d+)\..+$/]}$file; print "\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It would sort it for you. I think you are getting it wrong the way you apply the solution. You might want to do it like this: `use strict; use warnings; my @files = map { $_->[0] } sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map { [ $_, /.+?-(\d+)\..+$/ ] } <DATA>; print $_,$/ for @files; __DATA__ abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-0.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-1.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-10.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-11.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-2.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-3.gz` [download] you will have: `abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-0.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-1.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-2.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-3.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-10.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-11.gz` [download] If you tell me, I'll forget.

We might be looking at it differently (me being the novice!), but doing this I organize it, however, the dates will change, so it seems to only group by the last number, not by the date as well. See how all 9's and all 10's, etc, will be grouped, regardless of the prior date. That is critical or the logs will be useless foreach (@files) { my $file = $_; my @newfiles = map { $_->[0] } sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map { [ $_, /.+?-(\d+)\..+$/ ] } @files; print $_,$/ for @newfiles; outputs for example: abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-9.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-9.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307272100-2200-10.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307281900-2000-10.gz I need it to output like this: abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-1.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-2.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-3.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-4.gz ..etc.. abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-10.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-11.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282200-2300-12.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-1.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-2.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-3.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-4.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-5.gz ..etc.. abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-10.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-11.gz abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307282300-2400-12.gz [download]	[reply] [d/l]
