Re^2: How to concatenate a generic array of arrays and an array of hashes

Hello Christoforo,

Thanks for your time and effort to reply to my question. Well unfortunately this is not exactly what I want to do. My current solution is exactly what I want.

Sample of output using 2 dimension arrays:

$VAR1 = [
          [
            'Line_1_3',
            'Line_2_3'
          ],
          [
            'Line_3_3'
          ],
          [
            'Line_4_3',
            'Line_5_3',
            'Line_6_3',
            'Line_7_3'
          ]
        ];

Sample of array with hashes:

$VAR1 = {
          'sample.txt' => [
                            'Line_1_3',
                            'Line_2_3'
                          ],
          'sample_2.txt' => [
                              'Line_3_3'
                            ],
          'sample_3.txt' => [
                              'Line_4_3',
                              'Line_5_3',
                              'Line_6_3',
                              'Line_7_3'
                            ]
        };

The reason is that possibly the files are not the same in line (size) etc. etc. I am trying to retrieve the arrays one by one so I can play around with it.

I have found a way to print all data and also to print individual 1 by one the elements but not the arrays. I have an idea in my mind on how to solve it. I did not had the time to work on it, that is the reason that I have not updated my solution.

But thanks again for your time and effort and sorry if my sketch is not so clear.

Each file contains data, I import the data on arrays then I short* them on array of arrays* I don't know what exactly you wish to do - do you mean *sort? If you want to sort them, how would your output appear? You stated your solution is what you want. I have found a way to print all data and also to print individual 1 by one the elements but not the arrays.* I don't know what you mean in the statement above. How do you want to print the arrays?

Hello Cristoforo, I am trying to read n number of .txt files as argument inputs. Each file contains infinite n number of lines in the file. I want to extract the the 4th element of each line. Each element of each line is separated with a column ":". Line example: `Line_1:Line_1_1:Line_1_2:Line_1_3:Line_1_4` After collecting each element from each line I want to put them on an array so I am able to manipulate the values of each element. The reason that I am using array of arrays is that I do not know the number of .txt files that I am going to use. As a second step I am trying to print the collected values based on order of the files separated with a space in between. Sample of the expected output: `Line_1_3 Line_3_3 Line_4_3 Line_2_3 Line_5_3 Line_6_3 Line_7_3` [download] Each column represents the *.txt file that was loaded. For example if we had loaded the sample.txt it would be column 1, sample_2.txt would be column 2 and sample_3.txt would be column 3. I hope this explains more and produces less confusion.
