Hello London.pm
first let me apologise, I know this mail will be accompanied by an HTML version & I don't know how to prevent it. Outlook swears I'm using plain text but somehow it doesn't end up that way. So, sorry...
This is intended to re-sort STDIN according to a regexp:
my $rxp = $ARGV[0];
my %seen;
print $rxp;
while (<STDIN>) {
if (my ( $code ) = /$rxp/g) {
push @{ $seen{$code} } , $_;
}
}
for (%seen) {
# could maybe sort these by the key
for (@$_) {
print;
}
}
It won't work with strict because I get "Can't use string ("AA") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use." How do I use a proper array ref? Any other comments very welcome...
cheers,
Tom SW
