Re: Re: Re: Sort this data

What if there is a blank line at the END of the list? You might want to sniff for that and pop off blank lines first.

Also, what if fields are allowed to be null? If so, you HAVE to read from the front...

Yes, and we've just seen that reading from the front is not all that slow an operation. Sorry, I didn't understand how the array was implemented internally. Now that I do, I see that `splice()`ing at the front of an array is a damn nice operation, and makes `unshift()`ing later less of a headache. `japhy` -- Perl and Regex Hacker	[reply]
