Re: Create output from Perl hash

[choroba]

What should this do?

$myline =~ /(<SUBBEGIN)(.*)(<SUBEND)/g;

You're reading the file line by line. Your sample input contains the SUBBEGIN and SUBEND markers on separate lines. Is it possible to have them on the same line?

It's unclear how one should get from the sample input to the expected output. Can you describe the algorithm? See also SSCCE.

The input file contains a starting and ending string, so I am using a regular expression to extract group $2 which is what is between SUBBEGIN and SUBEND. I then split $2 based on the equals sign to create my hash %hash.Then within the while loop and using two separate if statements I use the hash function exists to check if key1 is in the %hash(first if statment) and if key2 is in the %hash (second if statement)
