Re^3: Hash Question

[Anonymous Monk]

What does that mean?

You're making up syntax and you're hoping I know what you mean by it -- I can venture a guess, but the point is, you need to ask a better question

Sorry, I wasn't clear, The hash reference is looking up values that match a column in a text file ($text11) I wanted to know if it was possible to match another column also e.g 14,15,17 etc and if there is a match in any of those columns then the results would be printed as opposed to just having the hash look up the one column ($text11) does that make more sense? Thank you

Yes,

if(
 $f[0] eq $f[1] and 
 $f[0] eq $f[2] and 
 $f[0] eq $f[3] and 
 $f[0] eq $f[4] and 
 $f[0] eq $f[5] 
) {
   ...
}
