You need nested loops. The outer loop selects the data that you want to keep. The inner loop updates the CODE if a matching ID is found.
use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my $test_data = [ {'ID' => '1212', 'Name' => 'JOE' , 'Number' => 'XY1', 'CODE' => +'6',}, {'ID' => '1212', 'Name' => '' , 'Number' => 'XY1', 'CODE' => ' +10',}, {'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => 'MARIA', 'Number' => 'TYX', 'CODE' => +'6',}, {'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => '' , 'Number' => 'TYX', 'CODE' => ' +10',}, {'ID' => '8765', 'Name' => 'JEAN' , 'Number' => 'HPO', 'CODE' => +'6',}, ]; my @result; foreach my $data ( @{ $test_data } ) { next if !$data->{Name}; my $id = $data->{ID}; push @result, $data; foreach my $temp ( @{ $test_data } ) { if (!$temp->{Name} and ($temp->{ID} eq $id)) { $result[-1]->{CODE} = $temp->{CODE}; last; } } } print Dumper(\@result);

OUTPUT

$VAR1 = [ { 'ID' => '1212', 'CODE' => '10', 'Number' => 'XY 'Name' => 'JOE' }, { 'ID' => '4456', 'Name' => 'MARI 'Number' => 'TY 'CODE' => '10' }, { 'CODE' => '6', 'Number' => 'HP 'Name' => 'JEAN 'ID' => '8765' } ];

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.
