Help with Hash

kumaar1986 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a text file with contents like below . Ansv. specialist-/ överläkare: 1 Ordinerade läkemedel: 1 namn: 1 Undersökningsresultat: 1 H - Med avd K74: 3 Anamnes: 1 Bidiagnos(er) enl.

ICD-10: 2 Vårdtid: 1 Orsakskod/text: 1 Bedömning: 1 Epikris: 1 H - AVA M83 Medicin: 8 Vårdförlopp: 1 Utskriftsdatum: 1 . I need to sort based based upon the Numerical values . I have wrote a piece of code and its sorting up based upon the alphabets

#!usr/bin/perl

open (FILE, "raj.txt") || die "Cannot open file.\n";
open (NEWFILE, ">rk.txt") || die "Cannot find or open file for editing
+.\n";



my %count;

while (my $line=<FILE>) {
         my @z = (split(/\n/,$line));
          ++$count{$z[0]};   
}

print "\n\tGRADES SORTED BY STUDENT NAME:\n";
foreach $key (sort (keys(%count))) {
   print NEWFILE "\t\t$key \t\t$keys{$values}\n";
}
close NEWFILE;
close FILE;
print "Done!\n";

This code works with the numerics: use strict; use warnings; my @names; my @numerics; my $rec = 0; while (<DATA>){ ($names[$rec], $numerics[$rec]) = split /:\s/,$_; $rec++; } for (sort {$numerics[$a] <=> $numerics[$b]} 0..$#numerics){ print "$names[$_]\n"; } __DATA__ Ansv. specialist-/ överläkare: 1 Ordinerade läkemedel: 1 namn: 1 Undersökningsresultat: 1 H - Med avd K74: 3 Anamnes: 1 Bidiagnos(er) enl.

Untested: `foreach my $key (sort {$count{$a} <=> $count{$b}} keys %count) { ... }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
