Hi Monks, I'm trying to sort this kind of list:
a1_2 a1_1 a10_10 a2_10 a2_1 a2_2 a10_1 a10_2 a1_10
It should come out:
a1_1 a1_2 a1_10 a2_1 a2_2 a2_10 a10_1 a10_2 a10_10
I tried the code below (with various options) with no success. It keeps putting x_10 before x_2. The sort should be done both alphabetically and numerically for every segment. The sort code:
use strict; use warnings; open(INPUTFILE, "< ccc"); my @list = <INPUTFILE>; my $newlist=$list[0].$list[1].$list[2]; my @split_list = split(" " ,$newlist); my @new_list = sort { ($a =~ /(\d+)/)[0] <=> ($b =~ /(\d+)/)[0] || ($a =~ /(\w+)/)[0] cmp ($b =~ /(\w+)/)[0] } @split_list; print "@new_list\n";
Thanks! Erez.
