( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have some general advice for you, but I'll wait till I'm sober. Till then:

use strict; use warnings; my %data; open (DATA1, "<", "data1.txt") or die "cannot open file"; while (<DATA1>) { my @line = split (/\t/, $_); $data{$line[0]} = $line[1]; } my @k = keys %data; foreach my $key (@k) { print "$key, $data{$key}\n"; } close DATA1; open (DATA2, "<", "data2.txt") or die "cannot open file"; print "found:\n"; while (<DATA2>) { chomp; if (exists $data{"$_"}) {print "$data{$_}\n";} close DATA2;
This doesn't check duplicates, is too verbose, but I hope it'll help.

I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.

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.
