Sort based on string lenght.
I'm not familiar with find.
If i use find in a certain directory i want it to show based on hierarchy.
Code:
find . type d
fol1
fol1/subfol1
fol1/subfol1/subfol1
fol2
fol2/subfol2

i want it to show like this
Code:
fol1/subfol1/subfol1
fol1/subfol1
fol1
fol2/subfol2
fol2

do i need to use sort on this?

Code:
my @arr=<DATA>;
print map {$_->[0]}
sort {$a->[1] cmp $b->[1] or $b->[2] <=> $a->[2]}
map {s/\n//;my @tmp=split("/",$_,2);[$_,$tmp[0],length($_)]} @arr;
__DATA__
fol1
fol1/subfol1
fol1/subfol1/subfol1
fol2
fol2/subfol2
