( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
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 :-)

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.
