Re: Re: Re: Sorting URLs on domain/host: sortkeys generation

Actually it does not matter that there are \w\.\w... sequences as . sorts before \w you get the desired result. The http:// is also immaterial provided all entries either have (or don't have it). cmp sorting does not stop at the first non word - it simply sorts in ASCII order.

print "$_\n" for sort qw (  http://.

This looks appropriately sorted to me. The IP code will get you the domain (or IP) in $1 regardless so you can easily modify it, but as this shows you don't really need to unless you want to trim off the ftp:// http:// https:// part and thus lump these in one group. The only other modification you can do to the domain name is chop the www. off (trying to guess other subdomains is a hopeless task) Otherwise the default cmp should work fine. Perhaps you could post an example of where it is not?

I'm quite sure the OP wanted something like: `http://. http://au.goo.com http://au.goop.com http://au.google.com http://www.google.com http://www.google.co.uk` [download] That is, sorted by TLD, then 2nd level domain, then 3rd, and so on. At least, it's what his code does (notice the `reverse`). -- dakkar - Mobilis in mobile	[reply] [d/l]

(I thought i already wrote that in OP; perhaps was not clear...) Lest we forget the question, is there a less verbose way (than the one in OP) to sort the URLs on criteria just presented above? (Long) Side note: FWIW, i converted the given Schwartzian transform to Gottman-Rosler Transform as an exercise, which was faster around 14-16% (benchmarked, Perl 5.8, merge/quick sorts, FreeBSD 4.7/386) -- not much of a difference (to me in this case, unless i am missing something).

I beg to differ, but simple sorting urls will put http://www.google.com/stuff nowhere near http://google.com/stuff or http://translate.google.com/stuff?	[reply]
