Re^2: Matching String Value with Hash Key

Ken

Thanks for your input, I'll pick up on this tomorrow but one thing I failed to highlight is that ###parent config#### and #####child config##### don't actually exist in the file, it's was merely me defining the structure which I forgot to mention

The exact file looks likes this



DEPLOY :
        SWG_Lower HOLDS SWG_Depot
        EQUALS:=
                total_dist: completion= SUCCESS
                total_finish: completion= SUCCESS
                total_cancel:completion=SUCCESS
 DEPLOYED

DEPLOY:
        LOADED_Lower HOLDS SWG_Depot
        EQUALS:=
                total_finish: completion= SUCCESS
                total_cancel: completion=SUCCESS
DEPLOYED

DEPLOY:
        CONFIG_Lower HOLDS SWG_Depot
        EQUALS:= 
                total_cancel: completion=SUCCESS
DEPLOYED

DEPLOY
        first_distribution HOLDS LOADED_Lower
DEPLOYED

DEPLOY:
        second_distribution HOLDS  CONFIG_Lower ;
DEPLOYED

DEPLOY :
        third_distribution HOLDS LOADED_Lower;
DEPLOYED

DEPLOY :
        forth_distribution HOLDS  SWG_Lower ;
DEPLOYED

"... one thing I failed to highlight is that ###parent config#### and #####child config##### don't actually exist in the file, it's was merely me defining the structure which I forgot to mention" You actually wrote: "I have the following text file of configuration details." It's important to pay attention to details. I can only provide advice on dealing with the input you describe: I can't guess that some of what you provide is correct and other parts are not. Furthermore, the computer can only deal with the input (as you describe it) in your code; for instance, any attempt to match either version of the input with the pattern `'#parent config#'` would fail. You may think I'm being pedantic; however, if you look back to the issues I originally raised, you'll see that all six of them are related to a lack of attention to detail. For your latest version of your input, you can modify my code by changing `$gen = 'child' if /CHILD CONFIG/;` [download] to `$gen = 'child' unless /EQUALS/;` [download] and get the same output values. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
