Re^2: Multiple file input into a perl script

This worked out great:

use File::DosGlob qw(bsd_glob); # to get sane whitespace semantics

my $pattern = '/home/kelder/files/*.txt';

@ARGV = glob $pattern;
[download]

Only there is a new problem; my output file list reads like this:

Ai0.txt
Ai1.txt
Ai2.txt
...
Ai10.txt
Ai11.txt
[download]

What ends up happening is that in my "results" file, where I print my counts, the order of the inputs is messed up.

Output:
File1
File10
File11
File2
[download]

How do I fix this ordering? Can I input the files in the order they are in the directory with another method? Thanks for all of the help so far!!

Maybe you want to sort your output? You don't tell us in what order you want it sorted, so I'm going to recommend tye's [ Natural Sort ]: Sorting a string with numbers.	[reply]

Sorting would be very useful, only I want to be able to sort the input files before I use their input- can I use the sort function on `@ARGV=glob $mypattern?`	[reply] [d/l]
