The code snippets don't correspond to each other. value 2 doesn't match /update\s*[table\s*]rmdb_dbo./i'. Moreover, the string 'table in the square brackets seems like a meaningful word, but square brackets introduce character classes, so [table\s*] in fact matches a single character a, b, e, l, t, asterisk, or whitespace.

Try to post runnable code like the following:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; my %h = ( 'connection-id0' => { username1 => ['value 1', 'value 2'], username2 => [ 'value5' ], }, 'connection-id1' => { username1 => ['value 2', 'value 3'], }, 'connection-id2' => { username1 => ['value 3', 'value 4'], } ); for my $connection (keys %h) { foreach my $userid (keys %{ $h{$connection} }) { my @ar = @{ $h{$connection}{$userid} }; if (lc $userid eq 'username1') { say "@ar" if grep /value 2/i, @ar; } } }
I used grep so the "value 2" might be located anywhere in the array.
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
