hm
you could do this:
my(%file_a);
open(FILEA,"path_to_file_a");
open(FILEB,"path_to_file_b");
while(my $line = <FILEA>){
chomp($line);
my @values = split /|/, $line;
$file_a{$values[0]}=$values[1];
}
close(FILEA);
my ($calc_prod,$total);
while(my $line = <FILEB>) {
chomp($line);
if($line =~ m/^Group Name/) {
print "Total: $total\n" if $total > 0;
print "Group ", {$line =~ m/^Group Name: (.*)$/}, "\n";
$calc_prod = 0;
$total = 0;
}
next if $line =~ m/^Junk/;
if($line =~ m/^Product Name/) {
$calc_prod = 1; next;
}
if ($calc_prod) {
print "$line ",$file_a{$line};
$total += $file_a{$line};
}
}
close(FILEB);
I wrote this without checking the syntax, but you'll see what we're trying to do ;-)
