ok, actually I did read it but could not figure out how to use it (I'm really new to Perl and scripting in general). After trying many times, I managed to get my "š" right after the "s", but now they are both at the beginning of the list:
this is how I did it:
Now, how do I tell Perl to leave the sorting order intact and to change only the part I need? Or should I probably say to insert my "š" just after "s"? Or do I have to make a complete sorting table to do it?
Hi,

The duplicate entry is only the first field. I try many options of sort system command but don't... (4 Replies)

Hi,

In another thread (field separator in Perl) I nearly solved my sorting problem and I finally understood the Schwartzian transform especially thank to KevinADC. After that I've found out that the sorting was not done the way I need it. I did not notice it at first because I used all vowels as a... (6 Replies)

I need to sort a file that is partly in English partly in Bulgarian.
The original file is an Excel file but I converted it to a tab-delimited text file. The encoding of the tab delimited file is UTF-8.
To sort the text, the script should test every line of the text file to see if... (9 Replies)

locale5.18
locale(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide locale(3pm)NAME
locale - Perl pragma to use or avoid POSIX locales for built-in operations
SYNOPSIS
@x = sort @y; # Unicode sorting order
{
use locale;
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
}
@x = sort @y; # Unicode sorting order again
DESCRIPTION
This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the use of POSIX locales for built-in operations (for example, LC_CTYPE for regular
expressions, LC_COLLATE for string comparison, and LC_NUMERIC for number formatting). Each "use locale" or "no locale" affects statements
to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
Starting in Perl 5.16, a hybrid mode for this pragma is available,
use locale ':not_characters';
which enables only the portions of locales that don't affect the character set (that is, all except LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE). This is
useful when mixing Unicode and locales, including UTF-8 locales.
use locale ':not_characters';
use open ":locale"; # Convert I/O to/from Unicode
use POSIX qw(locale_h); # Import the LC_ALL constant
setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); # Required for the next statement
# to take effect
printf "%.2f
", 12345.67' # Locale-defined formatting
@x = sort @y; # Unicode-defined sorting order.
# (Note that you will get better
# results using Unicode::Collate.)
See perllocale for more detailed information on how Perl supports locales.
NOTE
If your system does not support locales, then loading this module will cause the program to die with a message:
"Your vendor does not support locales, you cannot use the locale
module."
