( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi all. I have the following code, #!/usr/bin/perl -w

open(FILEHANDLE,'movies.txt');

@array2 =<FILEHANDLE>;

close FILEHANDLE;

open(FILEHANDLE2,'fruits.txt');

@array3 =<FILEHANDLE2>;

close FILEHANDLE2;

foreach $movie (@array2) {

chomp($movie);

$data {$movie} = "movies";

}

foreach $fruits (@array3) {

chomp($fruits);

$data {$fruits} = "fruits";

}

do{

print "Please enter a string \n";

chomp($input = <STDIN>);

foreach $key (keys(%data)){

if($key{$data} eq $input){

print "$input is a $data{$key}\n";

}

}

} while ($input ne 0); The elements in movies.txt is the following:

the blind side

iron man

star trek

gi joe The elements in fruits.txt is the following:

orange

apple

pear

water melon

This is what I want to achieve. For example, when the user enters apples, It would be printed : apples is a fruits, and thats it. Another example, when I enter gi joe,it would print: gi joe is a movie. Now , I am facing the following problems, when I enter apples when the program ask the user to enter the string, it would not appear anything and would prompt us to enter again. How should I edit my code to fulfill the following above? Thanks!

  • 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).
