Re: Help with converting Python script to Perl for CSV sort

[hippo]

It looks from the content of your post that you mean CSV rather than CVS. With that in mind you should definitely consider one of the CSV-based modules such as Text::CSV_XS rather than rolling your own.

I am not understanding the sort in the “foreach” loop… is this regex ?

No, this is sort. Perl has extensive, searchable, online documentation. Have a read of the linked page and see if that makes it all clear. Also perhaps the FAQ: How do I sort an array by (anything)?.

Thank you for pointing out my mistype in CSV. I have started reading about the Text::CSV

Python sucks

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Spreadsheet::Read;
use Text::CSV;

my $book = ReadData("test.csv");
my @rows = sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] } Spreadsheet::Read::rows($book-
+>[1]);

open my $fh, ">pl.csv";
my $csv = Text::CSV->new;
$csv->eol("\r\n");
$csv->print($fh, $_) for @rows;
close $fh;
