Re: Manipulating data structure

[Cristoforo]

Are these correct as shown below or did you missprint them? If they are missprints, should they be 'DOL' or 'DOLD'?

Do the 'numbered' keys always occur at the bottom of the list?

Chris

UID=
UID=FRLARS
UID=ANJA08
FNA=
FNA=Fredrik
FNA=Anja
ENA=Exp-pri
ENA=Larsson
ENA=Daun
PRE=(0117)
PRE=(0117)
PRE=(0117)
NYTT=23400
NYTT=23403
NYTT=23404
PRI1=Nej
FOR1=Nej
DOLD1=Nej should this be DOL?
CMG1=Ja
MEX1=Nej
PRI2=Nej
FOR2=Nej
DOLD2=Nej should this be DOL?
CMG2=Ja
MEX2=Nej
PRI3=Nej
FOR3=Nej
DOL3=Nej not like the 2 entries above
CMG3=Ja
MEX3=Nej

Hej Cristoforo and thanks for your reply,

You are right, it was a missprint, it is DOL1, DOL2, DOL3, etc.

And yes, numbered keys always goes on the bottom of the list (I think it's a consequence of using radio buttons which are seen as one "part")

One strange thing I've noticed when I moved this part out of CGI to a separate script and done a dump using Data::Dumper is that all of those numbered keys goes to a first hash ?!?

$VAR1 = {
          'FOR3' => 'Nej',
          'UID' => '',
          'DOL3' => 'Nej',
          'DOL1' => 'Nej',
          'FNA' => '',
          'MEX2' => 'Nej',
          'CMG1' => 'Ja',
          'CMG2' => 'Ja',
          'MEX1' => 'Nej',
          'DOL2' => 'Nej',
          'PRI3' => 'Nej',
          'spara' => 'Spara',
          'PRI1' => 'Nej',
          'ENA' => 'Exp-pri',
          'FOR1' => 'Nej',
          'MEX3' => 'Nej',
          'NYTT' => 23400,
          'FOR2' => 'Nej',
          'PRI2' => 'Nej',
          'PRE' => '(117)',
          'CMG3' => 'Ja'
        };
$VAR2 = {
          'UID' => 'FRLARS',
          'PRE' => '(0117)',
          'ENA' => 'Larsson',
          'NYTT' => 23403,
          'FNA' => 'Lars',
        };
$VAR3 = {
          'UID' => 'ANJA08',
          'PRE' => '(0117)',
          'ENA' => 'Daun',
          'NYTT' => 23404,
          'FNA' => 'Anja',
        };

Anyone knows why ?

You have to tell Dumper that the element is an array-reference.   Otherwise, it will “flatten” the list for printout and dummy up those $VARn pseudo-names within Dumper’s own output.   But it’s only for its own printing purposes:   those names do not actually exist anywhere.
