hi wise monks i just wondering is there anyway to sort an array by a value contained within the array element
such as in the below result i want to have the array sorted by the available space on the volume.
host:volume available(MB) %free 149.153.130.11:/dev/hda3 10168 80% 149.153.130.11:/dev/hda2 84 90% 149.153.130.15:/dev/hda3 10168 80% 149.153.130.15:/dev/hda2 84 90%
where the out put is generated by
@lines = split(/\n/,$space{ $host }); shift @lines; foreach $disk_used (@lines) { $_ = $disk_used; if (/(\/\w+\/\w+)\s+\w+\s+\d+\s+\d+\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)%/ ) { $free = 100-$3; push @out,"$host:$1 $2 $free%"; } }
