Original contents:
thanks I tried the below and no errors but nothing happens, sure it's me though.
if ($ARGV[0] eq "-a") {
open (INFILE, "$ARGV[1]") or die "$ARGV[1] cannot be openned : $!";
my %hash;
while ($source_file =~ /(\d)\s+(\d)\s+(\d)\s+(\w+)/) {
push @{$hash{$4}}, $1, $2, $3;
}
print "@{$hash{$_}}[0..2] $_\n" for sort keys %hash;
}
BTW I should've mentioned I must call my program as follows: myprogram.pl($ARGV[0]) option($ARGV[1]) mytextfile.txt($ARGV[-1]) I'm using this for assigning the text file to a variable $source_file = "$ARGV[-1] hence using $source_file to call the text file but now working. am I missing something?
Thanks - will try this out. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
