If I have a scalar variable that itslef is a list of names and numbers, for example > $names = 'john 35, jack 18, albert 24, timmy 42'; is it possible, and if so how can it be done to separate the individual names and ages from the list in their scalar form in order to create new lists sorted by names and ages. thanks for any suggestions.
my @names = sort split /, ?/, $names; this worked very well for the names only but did not sort properly for ages as well G'Night and good luck.
