Hopefully memory isn't a problem... but otherwise this shouldn't be too bad a solutionscompare_sites("newsite1.txt", "newsite2.txt") if day eq "monday..." # psuedo code compare_sites("newsite2.txt", "newsite1.txt") if day eq "tuesday..." # psuedo code sub compare_sites { my $file1 = shift; my $file2 = shift; open IN1, $file1; while(<IN1>) { chomp; $newsite1{$_}++; } # while close IN1; open IN2, $file2; while(<IN2>) { chomp; print "$_ is a new site\n" if not defined($newsite1{$_}); } # while close IN2; } # compare_sites
changed the code to a function as per tye's suggestion (and so he doesn't think I'm trying to make him look like an idiot I added this comment)... and added psuedo code for calling the function based on dates... :P
changed the does not exist line to print the site name and not a number... plus it identifies that it is a new site...
