Hi, thanks for the response. The @tapes_to_eject array has the tape numbers but the are not in order. 


        $ejected_tapes=0 ;
        #my @tapes_to_eject=sort @_ ;
        my @tapes_to_eject=@_ ;
        #my @tapes_to_eject=sort { substr($a, 1) <=> substr($b, 1)} @_
+;
        # Test
        #print "@_";

Then I run them through the eject command
