Re: Data managing problem

Use hash and save each line with the second field as key of each record. So you will get the latest record if the key get duplicated.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use utf8;

my %hash ;

while(<DATA>)
{
    my @arr = split(/\s+/, $_);

    $hash{$arr[1]}= $_;
}

print Dumper \%hash;
