Re: Manipulating data structure

[Ratazong]

Hi SerZKO!

Your hash-key does not need to be a static string, but could be constructed on the fly with a variable containing a counter. Check the following example

my %e;
my $max = 4;
foreach my $nr  (1..$max)
{
    $e{"uid_$nr"} = $nr;
}

For your problem, you may either add a the number of available UIDs in your data-structure (and use it like the $max in the example above), or you might check with exists whether a specific UID-entry is present in your hash (e.g. if (exists($e{"MEX$nr"}) { ... })

HTH, Rata

Hej Rata and thanks for your reply,

I've modified my code like this :

my @entries;
my $previouskey = "";

open (KOF, "<$konfil") or die "Kan inte \xF6ppna filen $konfil"; 
open (NYF, ">$nyfil") or die "Kan inte \xF6ppna filen $nyfil";
flock (NYF,2) or die $!;
my $offset = 0;
while(<KOF>)
{
    chomp;
    $value =~ s/^\s*(\S*)\s+$/$1/;
    unless ($key eq $previouskey || $previouskey eq "") {
        $offset = 0;
    }
    $previouskey = $key;    
    $entries[$offset]{$key} = $value;
    $offset++;
}
 
my @sorted =  sort { $a->{'NYTT'} <=> $b->{'NYTT'} } @entries;
my $pers =0;
my $Za=1;  #####Added

foreach my $e (@sorted) {
    print NYF ($e->{'UID'}, "|", $e->{'FNA'}, "|", $e->{'ENA'}, "|", $
+e->{'PRE'}, "|", $e->{'NYTT'}, "|", $e->{"PRI$Za"}, "|", $e->{"FOR$Za
+"}, "|", $e->{"CMG$Za"}, "|", $e->{"MEX$Za"}, "\n") if( $e->{"UID"} n
+e "" || $e->{"FNA"} ne "" || $e->{"ENA"} ne "");
    $pers++ if ($e->{"UID"} ne "");
    $Za++; #####Added
    }
close KOF;
close NYF;

but I only get result on first line with all others empty ? Like this:

 
||Exp-pri|(0117)|23400|Nej|Nej|Ja|Ja|Nej
FRLARS|Fredrik|Larsson|(0117)|23403|||||  ####Empty
ANJA08|Anja|Daun|(0117)|23404|||||        ####Empty

What could go wrong ? It only interpolates variable PRI and adds a number ?
