Re^3: Next Line Assigning to A Scalar

Ok, so you gave us runnable code and nicely formatted data, but you still didn't show your desired output. I don't understand from your text description what you want.

Re^4: Next Line Assigning to A Scalar by rmwheeler (Initiate) on Oct 30, 2014 at 13:00 UTC
toolic thanks for assisting me with this. What I'm trying to do is have the capability of printing just the colors of the car and/or the amount. For example, I just want to be able to print: `Car Black` Then perhaps I would like to just print: `Car 100` I need the color and amount for each line in a variable of some sort so I can reference that variable to update a database field. So I need something like this: `Variables ========= $type $color $amount -> for 1st line $type $color1 $amount1 -> for 2nd line if $type matches the 1st line $ +type $type $color2 $amount2 - for 3rd line if $type matches the 2nd $type` [download] Thanks again!
