<p> Hello Monks,</p>
<p>I need your help.
I have an array containing sentences. I want to order the sentences according to a given word (i.e. the third from the left). </p>
<p>I am a nice boy
You are a nice boy
They are not good at all </p>
<p> What I found is the following (adapting it from Lingua::Concordancer):</p>
<code>
sub order_line{
my @sorted_lines;
foreach ( sort { _by_left( $a, $b ) } @lines ) { push @sorted_lines, $_ }
print @sorted_lines;
}
sub _by_left {
my ( $a, $b ) = @_;
return lc( _on_left( $a )) cmp lc( _on_left( $b ));
}
sub _on_left {
my ( $s ) = @_;
my @words = split( /\s+/);
my $word_level=3;
return $words[ scalar( @words ) - $word_level ];
}
</code>
<p>Of course it doesn't work... </p>
