Hi,
arkturuz, will even work if the regex matches the values to be sorted like this:
chomp(my @files = <DATA>); ## added
sub by_id {
# extract numbers
my ($A) = $a =~ /.+?-(\d+)\..+$/; # changed
my ($B) = $b =~ /.+?-(\d+)\..+$/; # changed
# return comparison
return $A <=> $B;
}
for my $f (sort by_id @files) {
print $f,$/;
}
__DATA__
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-0.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-1.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-10.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-11.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-2.gz
abcd1_abc_123456.abc1a_A.201307290800-0900-3.gz
If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
