in reply to sort after split

you get the empty parens because the array is empty. why do you try to chomp the array? chomp $entry instead, as the first line of the loop.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

    Thanks Aquarium,

    I tried chomping then entry, but my list still prints in a sequential manner. Losing my mind :) 
    open (DB1,"logfile.log") or die("There was a problem opening the file.
+");
while ($entry=<DB1>) {
chomp $entry;
@fields = sort { $a cmp $b } split /\t/, $entry;
#@fields=split(/    /,$entry);
#chomp @fields; 

foreach $entry (@fields){
 $_ =~ s/\n/\,/;
}

      You seem to have missed (or deliberately ignored?) the question asked by Roy Johnson above. I'm sure that he won't object if I repeat his post in its entirety:

      What does your data look like? Give a few sample lines of input, and what you would want the output to be from that.
