Re: Tweaking the mysteries of HoHs and arrays

[McDarren]

Howdy :)

What you need to do is replace these lines:

    if ( defined $messages{$id}{to} ) {
        $messages{$id}{to2} = $to;
    } else {    
        $messages{$id}{to} = $to;
    }

With this:

push @{$messages{$id}{to}}, $to;

This will give you a HOHOA, and will cater for as many recipients as are found.
Run the following sample code to get an idea.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my %messages;

while (my $line = <DATA>) {
    if ($line =~ /relay=127\.0\.0\.1/) {
        my ($id, $to, $status) = (split /\s+/, $line, 10)[5,6,9];
        chop($id);
        $to =~ s/to=<(.*?)>,/$1/;
        push @{$messages{$id}{to}}, $to;
    }
}

print Dumper(\%messages) and exit;

Hope this helps,

Hello again!

Thank you - I didn't get my brackets in the right place when I tried variations along those lines. Or the array symbol outside the brackets. D'oh!

Thank you again: it's working perfectly. :-)
