in reply to Re: Consolidating nstore arrays
in thread Consolidating nstore arrays

I've been able to swap in my project directory and get this to partially work. I get 12x error "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at test.pl line 35." And line 35 corresponds to this line:

 $answer[$number++] .= ", " . $_->[$column] for @$arrayref;

I am searching the directory for 12 files, so that seems to make sense that there are 12 errors. Once the errors print,I get the header row, and then I get the number 1 row as this: 1, , , , , , , , , , , ,. Then all of the following rows print just like intended.

When I try to point to the column I want...(in this case, the 11th column. $column = 11) I get 3,635 of those errors before getting the blank row 1, and then all of the data that I want.

 nohup:
  Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at test.pl
+ line 35.

One other problem I am having, I need the pattern to read more like my $filepattern = qr/(*).foo__bar_ar/ because the file names can change substantially, but the extension is always the same. But I get this error "Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(* <-- HERE ).foo__bar_ar/ at test.pl line 11." when I try things like * or *.*

I've posted a small set of data sets in a reply to the main thread.

    You are missing a . in your pattern: 

    my $filepattern = qr/(.*).foo__bar_ar/

    Also, I'm totally confused about what is in your retrieve files.
    Please show (in code blocks) at least the first twenty lines from a Data::Dumper or Data::Dump print of one of your "retrieve" files as it is immediately after it is read in.

        According to my documentation for Storable (perl v5.26.0) this output is not possible. nstore can only store one reference.
