array inside a hash

tsvik_t has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, if I declare a hash like this:

$java{"aaa"}=@output;
[download]

and lets say that $output[0]="aaa";

how can I print the string "aaa" and how can I add alements to @output?

Thanks Tsvika.

`$java{"aaa"}=@output;` [download] No, I think you want: `$java{"aaa"} = [@output];` [download] Unless you're already running Perl 6. {grin} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I fyou ment to print the string "aaa" of the array (and not of the hash as in the example you gave), then do this: `print "string:", $java{aaa}[0];` [download] for adding elements tothe array: `push(@{$java{aaa}}, $element); # or: $java{aaa}[$index] = $element;` [download] These are elementry things and I suggest you read the Tutorials.
