( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I feel the use of Hash might not be required for your task. You have recordID which can act as an index to an array so why put them in a hash and mess up the order? You get linear access in array using index anyways an no overhead of the hash-table

That said, i would do a Matrix(nxn) (square not a requirement, dimensions might change based on num of records of course) to keep track of scores. Consider the following table

File1rec/File2rec123456
13789910
2483116
3149497
44310723
5425995
6562569
The values inside the cell are the scores. Now if you want the best matching score (max value) then a O(n) max will provide you the answer for your records and you have to do that n-times for each record in your first file.

Sorting to finx max/min is an overkill. I might be missing your porblem so please correct me if i am wrong.

cheers

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.
