Thanks for the replies. I really do appreciate it!
Now I want to expand this a pinch, now that some of you think my deleting of hash keys is not needed.
I have two hash tables (%runset and %description) and I want to do the following. All of the keys in %runset have precendence over %description. BUT if there are "new" ones in %description, I don't want to forget those either.. So here was my thoughts on how to do this..
1. Only valid runset variables in %runset are Uppercase(This is why deleting them is easier..)
2. Comparing the two hashes grab %runset first and as you print them delete them from both hashes (if they exist in %description - which they might not).
3. Now any remaining hashes in %description print them as well.
Am I crazy?
If you want to try your hand at this code I would really be indebted to you all. Thanks much!!
