Hi, I am relatively new to perl and now I am struggling with a very nasty and persistant problem, which already took me more than a day without any progress.
No experienced Perl programmers in sight......
My problem:
Given this piece of code:
my $recref = $dbh->
selectall_hashref("SELECT * FROM DSA_RECORD
WHERE file_name = '$file_name'", 'RECORD_NAME');
die unless $recref;
and the following content of $recref:
.-> HASH(0x110916be8)
'DATA' => HASH(0x110916a98)
'FIELD_DELIMITER' => '<-->'
'FILE_NAME' => 'SCRAMBLETEST2.CSV'
'RECORD_NAME' => 'DATA'
'RECORD_SELECTOR' => '^1'
'SECTION_NAME' => undef
How can I put the contents of FIELD_DELIMITER in a scalar?
So in the end I need a scalar ($fieldsep) with '<-->' as contents.
My impression was :
$recname='DATA';
$fieldsep = $recref->{$recname}->{'FIELD_DELIMITER'};
but this results in error :
Use of uninitialized value in print .....
Please can someone help me, I am getting frustrated.
Thanks in advance
