I want to open this file and read the first words in the lines alfabetical and than display it to a html file.
Al i need to know is how to sort them alfabetical.
You should be able to pass a reference to a subroutine to the sort command. This reference would compare two values and determine which one came first alphabetically.
From perldoc -f sort
# sort using explicit subroutine name
sub byage {
$age{$a} <=> $age{$b}; # presuming numeric
}
@sortedclass = sort byage @class;Or you could try putting 'use locale' at the top of your script, to get it to sort by your local standards of alphabetical. Again from perldoc -f sort,
When `use locale' is in effect, `sort LIST' sorts
LIST according to the current collation locale.
See the perllocale manpage.
The perlfaq has some questions and answers about sorting stuff, too.
