I have a file I need to parse that contains multiple lines for an account number. I want to print out just the first occurrence for each account number. I stink at using Hash Keys and values. What I am getting is the last occurrence of each account in the file. Any help would be great.
example:
1234,ladjfljadflajdkfalkjdfladjf
1234,ouoquldjljadfjodjfladfljdfljaljf
1234,oueuodlcmcmdldjtljfjldjfljdfljldjf
1234,ladjfljadflajdkfalkjdfladjf
5678,aldkjfldajfljadfljdalfjladjwerwer
5678,uulkdjfljdfljdalfjaiieieieiiwpppp
Just want to print out
1234,ladjfljadflajdkfalkjdfladjf
1234,ladjfljadflajdkfalkjdfladjf
@ACCTS = ("1234", "5678", "6959");
open(IN,"InFile.txt");
%acct="";
while (defined($line = (<IN>))){
foreach $x (@ACCTS) {
if ($line =~/$x/){
$acct{$x} = ($x,$line);
}
}
}
foreach $key (sort keys %acct){
print "$acct{$key}\n";
}

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).
