Re^2: hash array question

Many thanks, this is what i'm looking for. Is it also possible to add a key to each sub array? Something like:

RED  => [
        {KEYNAME =>[ PRICE => 0,
          CODE  => 'code value 1',
          LABEL => 'RED'] },
        { KEYNAME => [PRICE => 0,
          CODE  => 'code value 2',
          LABEL => 'RED',}] ],
    BLUE => [KEYNAME => [ {
        PRICE => 1,
        CODE  => 'code value 3',
        LABEL => 'BLUE',
    } ]]

Also, an expression such as `{ KEYNAME => [ PRICE => 0, CODE => 'code value 1', LABEL => 'RED' ] }` suggests you may be mistaking an array element for part of a hash key/value pair. The `=>` (fat arrow) operator is just a fancy comma (see Comma Operator), it does ~~nothing~~ \| nothing in and of itself to form key/value pairs. The expression above is equivalent to `{ KEYNAME => [ 'PRICE', 0, 'CODE', 'code value 1', 'LABEL', 'RED' ] }` (update: in which an anonymous array is initialized with a set of unrelated, i.e., unpaired, elements).

Sorry, I don't understand. After RED, you have two hashes in an array, but after BLUE, there's no hash, just an array. Also, are you sure you want to store the tuples in an array instead of a hash? `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
