I'll do my best to see you as my best-friend, while you strip my 1st
code ;)
But thanx (also to the pther ppl) for pointing me to some things.

It's hard to start (as always), but it will work...some day :)
I have some knowledge about the shell and linux, but i don't write code
in any other language, so it's all new to me.

i will do that, "use warnings;" gave me more (human readable) errors, so
better to understand for me.
I was looking for the > and < operators. I had used them with backticks
(but gave a error message, because it was a "greater then" value,
because i left spaces like print $a > $b instead of print $a>$b ....
But now... i want to be more precise with my script.
So i made 2 extra if loops, 1 is looking for errors, and if so, also
check if there is no 127.0.0.x adres in it anymore (works so far :D)
then i want to sort the ip's ....and that's what dazzling me now...
This is what i want: I Look in the (newly) written error.log, and see
immediatley that someone with ip 123.45.6.7 has tried 1x to login. But
123.45.6.8 has tried to login 50x in the last 6 days...
Now my thought was that i made an array to put everything from while
<ER>, and when it's an error message and *not* 127.0.0.x in the array,
then sort, and put it in the error.log.... unfortunatly it's not
working.... so i looked for the subroutines in Learning Perl... but i
don't get it *how* you can get these values....
Thanx a lot
Sander
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open (ER, "</home/unicorn/Plscripts/error_log") || die "can't open ER,
$!\n"; #opening error_log for ReadNow all the advice helped me out,
open (EL, ">>/home/unicorn/Plscripts/error.log") || die "can't open EL,
$!\n"; #opening ERROR.LOG for Write
while (<ER>) { #as long as ER is open, read....
if (/error/) { #if there is any errormessage in the file
if (!/127.0.0.*/) { #and it's not local 127.0.0.x
@sorted_list = sort by_ip (ER) ; #the inputfile is sorted by ip in
@sorted_list
print EL $_; #print output to ERROR.LOG #was print EL $_;
}
}
}
#sub by_ip {
# @sorted_list = sort { $a <=> $b } EL;
# }
