in reply to Looping through Hash Function

Is something like this what you’re looking for?

#! perl use strict; use warnings; use JSON; my @fields = qw(eTime lTime eCompressd eUnCompressd iCompressd iUnComp +ressd); my $j = JSON->new; { local $/ = '}'; while (my $jsonstr = <DATA>) { my $structure = $j->decode($jsonstr); print "\n========== RECORD ===========\n\n"; printf("%-12s = %s\n", $_, $structure->{$_}) for @fields; } } __DATA__ <as before>

Output:

19:36 >perl 854_SoPW.pl ========== RECORD =========== eTime = 1390798621000 lTime = 1390802201000 eCompressd = 22627786 eUnCompressd = 31929200 iCompressd = 255554 iUnCompressd = 643408 ========== RECORD =========== eTime = 1390802241000 lTime = 1390805821000 eCompressd = 21470491 eUnCompressd = 29827772 iCompressd = 253899 iUnCompressd = 637636 ========== RECORD =========== eTime = 1390805861000 lTime = 1390809441000 eCompressd = 16216565 eUnCompressd = 27731136 iCompressd = 233005 iUnCompressd = 639488 19:36 >

Notes:

  1. The OP code reads only the first record, as it calls <DATA> only once.
  2. For efficiency, put things that aren’t changed by the loop outside of it.

Hope that helps,

    Excellent! This is exactly how I wanted it :)
    I thankyou very much Athanasius! Appreciate your help in making me understand

    I will use this as a base and perform the manipulations I need. Good learning for me!
