I have a text file named cust with 3 fields, time, customer name, location

$ cat cust
12:10 a  america
12:11 b  bombay
12:12 c  calcutta
12:13 a  australia
2:30   b  bhutan
3:40  n    neterland

Created a script cust.pl to iterate over each hash $ cat cust.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
open FILE1, "cust" or die;
my %hash;
my %location;
while (my $line=<FILE1>) {
   chomp($line);
   (my $word1,my $word2, my $word3) = split /\s+/, $line;
   push (@{$hash{$word2}},$word1);
   push (@{$location{$word2}},$word3);
}

for $user (sort keys %hash) {
    print "$user: @{$hash{$user}} \n";
}

for $loc (sort keys %location) {
    print "$loc: @{$location{$loc}} \n";
}

Getting the following output: $ ./cust.pl

a: 12:10 12:13 
b: 12:11 2:30 
c: 12:12 
n: 3:40 
a: america australia 
b: bombay bhutan 
c: calcutta 
n: neterland

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
