If you have three sets of data that need to be sorted independently,
I'd reccomend you start by seperating your
@records into
three seperate arrays, like so:
my (@records1, @records2, @records3)
foreach (@records) {
if (/^BLOGO/) {
push @records1, $_;
} elsif (/\d{3}-FMT-FMT) {
push @records2, $_;
} else {
push @records3, $_;
}
Now you have 3 arrays, each with one data type. Assuming each piece
of data has exactly one block of digits, you can sort them with
foreach (\@records1, \@records2, \@records3) {
my @recs = @$_;
#--
print join "\n",
sort {$a1 = $a =~ /(\d+)/;
$b1 = $b =~ /(\d+)/;
$a1 <=> $b1
} @recs;
#--
}
If you don't know about references yet, you can just do the code
in between "#--"'s once for each array, substituting the array name for
@recs.
