I'm a perl newbie (and I know it) that's why I seek wisdom here.
The following problem came up:
I have an array with in each array-element some data that is divided by the same words. The ("border")words are always present but the lenght and content between the words differ. I need to filter the data between the ("border")words and put them in there own array-elements.
eg:
#!/usr/bin/perl
@accounts = ("A x1 B y1 C z1 D v1 E w1 F",
"A x2 B y2 C zzz2 D v2 E w2 F",
"A x3 B y3 C z3 D v3 E w3 F",
"A x4 B y4 C z4 D v4 E wwww4 F",
"A x5 B y5 C z5 D v5 E w5 F",
"A x6 B y6 C z6 D v6 E F");
@fields = ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E");
@fields_plus = ("B", "C", "D", "E", "A");
$end = $#accounts + 1;
$end_1 = $#fields + 1;
$i = 0;
$j =0;
$teller = 1;
foreach $jump(@accounts)
{
foreach $test(@fields)
{
$accounts_2[$j][$i] =~ (/$test(.*?)$fields_plus[$i] /sgm) ;
push @accounts_2, ("$teller", "***");
$teller++ ;
$i++;
if ($fields[$i] == $end_2) {last}
}
$j++;
}
for ($j = 0, $j > $end, $j++)
{
for ($i =0, $i > $end_1, $i++)
{
print ("$accounts_2[$j][$i]");
}
}
The result should be something as:
$accounts_2[0][0] = x1
$accounts_2[0][1] = y2
$accounts_2[][] = ...
$accounts_2[1][0] = x2
$accounts_2[][] = ...
$accounts_2[3][4] = wwww4
$accounts_2[][] = ...
I got some spooky stuff.
Thanks in advance for helping me :-)

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).
