in thread Hash of Hashes from file

Think I got it this time! I used the data structure that scorpio17 used (I printed out the dump here also). Output:
C:\Old_Data\perlp>perl t33.pl $VAR1 = { 'john' => { 'site' => [ 'www.yahoo.com', 'www.yahoo.com', 'www.yahoo.com', 'www.facebook.com' ], 'type' => [ 'Entertainment', 'Entertainment', 'Entertainment', 'Social Networking' ] }, 'mike' => { 'site' => [ 'www.google.com' ], 'type' => [ 'Search Engines' ] }, 'david' => { 'site' => [ 'www.facebook.com' ], 'type' => [ 'Social Networking' ] } }; david Website: www.facebook.com, Category: Social Networking john Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.facebook.com, Category: Social Networking mike Website: www.google.com, Category: Search Engines Name: john Website Count www.yahoo.com 3 www.facebook.com 1 Type Count Entertainment 3 Social Networking 1 Name: mike Website Count www.google.com 1 Type Count Search Engines 1 Name: david Website Count www.facebook.com 1 Type Count Social Networking 1 C:\Old_Data\perlp>
And here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my %data; while (<DATA>) { my ($user, $site, $cat) = /"([^"]+)"/g; push @{ $data{$user}{site} }, $site; push @{ $data{$user}{type} }, $cat; } for my $user (sort keys %data) { my $site_ary = $data{$user}{site}; my $type_ary = $data{$user}{type}; print $user, "\n"; for my $i (0 .. $#$site_ary) { printf "\tWebsite: %s, Category: %s\n", $site_ary->[$i], $type +_ary->[$i]; } } print "\n\n"; for my $user (sort by_count_desc keys %data) { my $site_ary = $data{$user}{site}; my $type_ary = $data{$user}{type}; my (%site_cnt, %type_cnt); $site_cnt{$_}++ for @$site_ary; $type_cnt{$_}++ for @$type_ary; print "Name: $user\n\tWebsite Count\n"; for my $site (sort {$site_cnt{$b} <=> $site_cnt{$a}} keys %site_cn +t) { printf "\t%-20s%d\n", $site, $site_cnt{$site}; } print "\n"; print "\tType Count\n"; for my $type (sort {$type_cnt{$b} <=> $type_cnt{$a}} keys %type_cn +t) { printf "\t%-20s%d\n", $type, $type_cnt{$type}; } print "\n\n"; } sub by_count_desc { @{$data{$b}{site}} <=> @{$data{$a}{site}}; } __DATA__ user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="david" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="john" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="mike" website="www.google.com" type="Search Engines"
Hope this helps, Chris

    Hi

    I thought I'd post a database solution. Its not really necessary as the Perl code solution works. The advantage of loading into a database is if your file is too large to fit in memory. Also, if you wanted to see different views of the data, it would be probably easier to write an SQL query than to write another program, etc.

    I can't vouch for the SQL here - I don't use it often, but it did produce the results similiar to the Perl program above.

    You could run it if you had the DBI and DBD::SQLite modules on your system.

    The first program creates the database and the second program runs the queries.

    #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=users.lite","","", {PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 0}) or die "Can't connect"; $dbh->do('DROP TABLE users'); $dbh->do(qq{ CREATE TABLE users (user TEXT, site TEXT, type TEXT) }); my $sql_fmt = "INSERT INTO users VALUES(?,?,?)"; while(<DATA>) { $dbh->do($sql_fmt, {}, /"([^"]+)"/g); $dbh->commit if $. % 1_000_000 == 0; # commit every 1,000,000 } $dbh->commit; $dbh->disconnect; __DATA__ user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="david" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="john" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="mike" website="www.google.com" type="Search Engines"
    #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=users.lite","","", {PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 0}) or die "Can't connect"; # Prepare and print list of all websites to every user my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<SQL); SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY user, site SQL $sth->execute; while(my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) { printf "%-15s%-20s%s\n", @row; } print "\n"; # Create list of users from most visits to least for @users array $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<SQL); SELECT user, COUNT(user) Count FROM users GROUP BY user ORDER BY Count DESC, user SQL $sth->execute; my @users; while(my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) { push @users, $row[0]; } # Counts for each website and counts of categories visited by user for my $user (@users) { $sth = $dbh->prepare(qq{SELECT site, COUNT(site) Count FROM users WHERE user = '$user' GROUP BY site ORDER BY Count DESC }); $sth->execute; printf "Name: %s\n\t%-20s%s\n", $user, qw/ Website Count /; while(my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) { printf "\t%-20s%s\n", @row; } print "\n"; printf "\t%-20s%s\n", qw/ Category Count /; $sth = $dbh->prepare(qq{SELECT type, COUNT(type) Count FROM users WHERE user = '$user' GROUP BY type ORDER BY Count DESC }); $sth->execute; while(my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) { printf "\t%-20s%s\n", @row; } print "\n"; } $dbh->disconnect;

    Chris

    Update: Re-wrote the query in loop of '@users'.
