in thread Need help in parsing an input

Sorry I am beginner in perl just starting hence if there are mistake please oblige. Here is the problem I am executing subroutine in perl script it returns me output dynamically in array format @outputArray
outputarray[0]=name ip port outputarray[1]=------------------------------------ outputarray[2]=http-listener-1 * 6712 outputarray[3]=http-listener-2 * 4743
I can also get the output array as like below also if i want
outputarray[0]=http-listener-1 * 6712 outputarray[1]=http-listener-2 * 4743
I want to write a subroutine which will check whether port exists and if exists returns me true and the listener name if not it returns me false and null getListenerName($porttobeChecked) This subroutine returns me the name of the listener if i pass a port. Eg: If $porttobechecked=6712 I want to return an array a[0]=TRUE and a1=http-listener-1(listener name) If port to be checked = 4516.I want to return an array a[0]=FALSE and a1=null .Help required

    Hello sandeepda,

    "I want to write a subroutine which will check whether port exists and if exists returns me true..."

    I think your question has really been answered in this thread How to check whether my array contains element x started by you..Please check.
    Except you have something else in mind..

    If you tell me, I'll forget.
    If you show me, I'll remember.
    if you involve me, I'll understand.
