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

First, three comments:

1. check the status of the open instructions;

2. chomp the lines you are reading to remove newline characters

3. use the eq operator instead of a regex, unless you have good reason to use regexes.

If the files are not too large (or, rather, if at least one of the files is not too large), read one of the files and store it in memory as a hash (using the full chomped line as the key). Once this is done, go through the other file and check if the line exists in the hash. If it exists, juste print it to your output file. This will be much faster than your nested foreach loops.

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.
