in thread extracting data from a file

Huh?

What is the hash for?

And take a closer look at what's in @array. By changing "print "@array\n"; to "print Dumper @array;", you will see that @array contains extra elements that result from splitting on the quote character as if it were a simple delimiter rather than a balanced construct.

Also, given the OP's data set, there's no reason for the $hash{ssss} element to even exist.

This is a broken solution.
