Do you mean this? `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $string = 'p(0)=0,35 p(1)=0,54 p(2)=0,12 p(3)=0,96 p(4)=0,43'; print join ' ', map { s/\./,/; $_ } sort { my ($x, $y) = map { s/,/./; /=(.*)/; $1 } $b, $a; $x <=> $y } split / /, $string; print "\n";` [download] You might also consider using Schwartzian Transform or Orcish Manœuvre.

What does string (p(0)) must know equal to the 0,35 mean, and what's exactly your question? -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
