--- Begin Message ---Hi, I have written a simple script that does numeric or ascii sort based on the command line args. When I run it, my output is ok but I get the warning "Argument "\x{a}" isn't numeric in sort at sort.pl line 19, <FIN> line 8." This is my script #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $numeric = 0; my $input = shift; if($input eq "-n"){ $numeric = 1; $input = shift; } open FIN, $input or die "couldn't open $input for read $!\n"; my @file = <FIN>; if($numeric){ @file = sort {$a <=> $b} @file; } else{ @file = sort @file; } print @file; Can anyone let me know what's the problem? Thanks, Anu. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
