Re^2: read CSV file line by line and create hash table

what was i downvoted for? it really disheartens me to get downvoted for just trying to help someone. and also nto to even get any feedback at all as to why i got the downvote :l

i know i offer very limited help, but when it comes to something i think i can help with i dont hesitate and i give my opinion/advice whole heartedly. atleast tell me why you gave me a downvote <.<

also it was already said once in this thread that.. and i quote... "But this is Perl, and There Is More Than One Way To Do It". and all i did was offer an alternative. a way to display all infos from the file header OR you could even extract it based off header references, and with a little reconstruction of the example script i posted, you could accomidate the needed data quite well.

also the example script has a little code in it that other monks helped me with as well.

First, relax, downvotes happen, you've got to wait a few days to see the final tally. Also see Why did I get downvoted? However, while it's true that TIMTOWTDI, your code isn't actually "one way to do it", since lshokri02 wants to read a CSV file, and your code does something very different (plus, it doesn't compile). Off-topic posts are not generally a bad thing, but this one should probably be more clearly described as such, otherwise it may send the person looking for answers down the wrong path. This is especially true for your first post, since it begins by describing a method that would not be particularly useful in reading a CSV file. (Also, posting 5 nodes all in reply to each other probably isn't necessary, as you could have edited your node. It makes it look like you didn't take the time to think about your post before submitting it.)	[reply]

i could easily remove the commas and parse the proposed file the way i described. anyways im not gonna argue with you man, you and other fellow monks have gave me alot of help here and i would like to continue with that help again if i ever need it :) hope you feel the same way.	[reply]

you know what lol, i dont even care anymore. it is merely your opinion to think the post i made deserves a downvote, unless you can give me actual physical proof as to why you downvote me, i could care less. downvote all my posts :) p.s. have fun	[reply]
