This just looks wrong... Looks like you are trying to create a sorted group of tickets from the original data. I personally would be using a Database, loading it in if necessary and then doing a simple select: select action_creator, ticket_customer, ticket_number, ticket_subject from my_table order by action_creator, ticket_customer, ticket_number, ticket_subject In fact the whole thing looks like a database application waiting to happen. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
