Hi
You can define it in a class as a static closure
class Sorters {
static compareVersions = { a,b ->
return getVersion(a).toInteger() <=> getVersion(b).toInteger()
}
}
and use it like:
list.sort(Sorters.compareVersions)

Thanks! Now, I have a number of methods that need access to that closure . . .
Can I make the closure global? Is there a better way?
Thanks again,
Guy

Hi Guy
Just assign the variable
def comapreVersions = { a,b ->
return getVersion(a).toInteger() <=> getVersion(b).toInteger()
}
and then use it in your sort:
list.sort(compareVersions)

Subject: re-using a comparison closure
Hi!
I have to sort a list of strings based on a number within the string . . . I
am able to sort using something like:
list.sort( { a,b -> getVersion(a) <=> getVersion(b)})
I need to use this in a bunch of places in my code and was hoping to replace it
with a method, like:
list.sort( compareVersions)
with compareVersions:
def compareVersions(a, b) {
return getVersion(a).toInteger() <=> getVersion(b).toInteger()
}
putting the method (compoareVersions) into the sort as a param doesn't work.
Anyone know what I'm missing?
Thanks!!
Guy
