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

If I've understood you right, this should do it:

my %h; # build a giant hash of all the info. Keys are ids, values # are hashrefs whose keys are the source filename and whose # values are the lines themselves. while (<>) { my @fields = split ','; $h{$fields[0]}{$ARGV} = $_; } # for each id (lexically sorted) for my $id (sort keys %h) { my @keys = keys %{$h{$id}}; # if it was present in only one file, print it and move on if (scalar @keys == 1) { print $h{$id}{$keys[0]}; next; } # if it was present in more than one, find out whether # all the lines are the same by building a hash with # each line as the key, then testing whether you end # up with more than one key. my %cmp; $cmp{$_} = '' for values %{$h{$id}}; print keys %cmp if scalar keys %cmp == 1; }

Updated: Now I feel silly. This can be much simpler.

while (<>) { my @fields = split ','; $h{$fields[0]}{$_} = ''; } for my $id (sort keys %h) { print keys %{$h{$id}} if scalar keys %{$h{$id}} == 1; }

and, if one really wanted, the for loop could even be the gratuitously uber-terse:

scalar keys %{$h{$_}} == 1 and print keys %{$h{$_}} for sort keys %h;

I love Perl.

Updated again: You know how it goes. You start thinking about how something can be terser, and next thing you know, you're golfing.

perl -ane '$h{$F[0]}{$_}=0;END{keys%{$h{$_}}==1&&print keys%{$h{$_}}fo +r sort keys%h}' f1.txt f2.txt

OK. I stop procrastinating now.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
