Hey guys
Thanks for the detailed replies, they have really helped me a great deal!!
@Don: I decided to maybe use an Array as I wasn't aware of any other way of doing what I wanted to do using KSH ... I have only been using it for a week but I guess I have been proven wrong that I can do what I need without an Array.

Given a line of text in ksh:
string1 string2 string3 .....stringn
is there a way of automatically assigning each string to an array element? Or just different variables would do.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an issue where i run an command in a shell script.
command >/dev/null
ret=$?
echo ret
If the command returns an error i'm redirecting it to /dev/null.
The prob is if an error comes it expects the user to press return to continue.
And hence the return is not echoed. and the end... (4 Replies)

tie::array::sorted
Tie::Array::Sorted(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Tie::Array::Sorted(3pm)
NAME
Tie::Array::Sorted - An array which is kept sorted
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::Array::Sorted;
tie @a, "Tie::Array::Sorted", sub { $_[0] <=> $_[1] };
push @a, 10, 4, 7, 3, 4;
print "@a"; # "3 4 4 7 10"
DESCRIPTION
This presents an ordinary array, but is kept sorted. All pushes and unshifts cause the elements in question to be inserted in the appropri-
ate location to maintain order.
Direct stores ("$a[10] = "wibble"") effectively splice out the original value and insert the new element. It's not clear why you'd want to
use direct stores like that, but this module does the right thing if you do.
If you don't like the ordinary lexical comparator, you can provide your own; it should compare the two elements it is given. For instance,
a numeric comparator would look like this:
tie @a, "Tie::Array::Sorted", sub { $_[0] <=> $_[1] }
Whereas to compare a list of files by their sizes, you'd so something like:
tie @a, "Tie::Array::Sorted", sub { -s $_[0] <=> -s $_[1] }
LAZY SORTING
If you do more stores than fetches, you may find Tie::Array::Sorted::Lazy more efficient.
