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

L~R's solution has problems:

$data_array_ref = [ mykey1 => {firstkey => 'firstvalue', secondkey => 'secondval' }, mykey2 => {ninza => 'turtle', 'Hurricane' => 'Dennis'}, mykey3 => [ ['one', 'two', 'three'] ], mykey4 => [ [4, 5, 'three'], [6, 7, 'four'], [8, 9, 'five'] ], ]; for ( @$data_array_ref ) { print "$_ =>"; if ( ref $_ eq 'ARRAY' ) { print join ", ", @$_; } else { print join ", ", sort values %$_; } print "\n"; } __END__
output ====== mykey1 => HASH(0x1abefc0) =>firstvalue, secondval mykey2 => HASH(0x1abf0a4) =>Dennis, turtle mykey3 => ARRAY(0x1ab5148) =>ARRAY(0x1ab50d0) mykey4 => ARRAY(0x1ab52f8) =>ARRAY(0x1ab5190), ARRAY(0x1ab5208), ARRAY(0x1ab5280 +)

My solution:

$data_array_ref = [ mykey1 => {firstkey => 'firstvalue', secondkey => 'secondval' }, mykey2 => {ninza => 'turtle', 'Hurricane' => 'Dennis'}, mykey3 => [ ['one', 'two', 'three'] ], mykey4 => [ [4, 5, 'three'], [6, 7, 'four'], [8, 9, 'five'] ], ]; my $i = 0; while ($i < @$data_array_ref) { my $key = $data_array_ref->[$i++]; my $val = $data_array_ref->[$i++]; print "$key => "; if (ref($val) eq 'HASH') { print join ', ', values %$val; } else { print join ', ', map { @$_ } @$val } print "\n"; } __END__ output ====== mykey1 => firstvalue, secondval mykey2 => turtle, Dennis mykey3 => one, two, three mykey4 => 4, 5, three, 6, 7, four, 8, 9, five

It be somewhat easier if your topmost data structure was a hash, not an array.

map { @$_ } @$_ flattens a ref to an array of arrays of scalars, as opposed to @$_ which only flattens a ref to an array of scalars.

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.
