( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

my %hash = ( response => { blogs => [ { url => 'equipo.tumblr.com', name => 'equipo', updated => 1346015230, }, { url => 'linux.tumblr.com', name => 'linuxmint', updated => 1345967468, }, ], }, ); my @urls = map { $_->{url} } @{$hash{response}{blogs}};

perldoc perlreftut and peldoc perlref can get you started with references. perldsc and perllol can walk you through manipulating datastructures built using references. I used map (perldoc -f map) to perform the actual data structure transform. But if you're new to some of this it might be easier to achieve the same thing using a foreach loop (perldoc perlsyn) and push (perldoc -f push):

my @urls; foreach my $blog ( @{$hash{response}{blogs}} ) { push @urls, $blog->{url}; }

Either way @url ends up containing the same list of URL's.

If you don't mind spending a little on a good book, Intermediate Perl is a great tutorial on references, data-structures, classes, and objects (as well as a few other useful things).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
