Hello monks!
I have two files, in the following formats:
FILE1 peter 1234 nick 1111 john 4567 mike 3333 george 2222 antony 5632 migel 1209 FILE2 john 7559 mike 3333 george 2222 peter 5643 nick 1111 julia 3456
What I want to do is:
Read through FILE1 and store name and number in a hash, call it %hash1 [I have done it]
Foreach $key of %hash1, I must check if it exists in FILE2. If it exists, I must then check if the number in FILE1 [$hash1{$key}] is the same with the number in FILE2 {$hash2{$key}}. If it is the same, I print $key."\t".'OK'."$hash1{$key}";
and if the numbers don't match, I will print $key."\tWRONG".$hash1{$key}.
Also, if a $key of $hash1 does not exist in FILE2, I must print it.
To be more clear, I must have:
peter WRONG 1234 nick OK 1111 john WRONG 4567 mike OK 3333 george OK 2222 antony WRONG 5632 migel WRONG 1209
I have written:
open ONE, $FILE1; while (<ONE>) { chomp; if ($_=~/^(.*)\t(.*)/) { $hash1{$1} =$2; } } foreach $key(keys %hash1) { open TWO, $FILE2; while (<TWO>) { chomp; if ($_=~/^$key\t(.*)/) { if ($1 eq $hash1{$key}) { print $key."\t".'OK'."$hash1{$key}"."\n"; } else { print $key."\t".'WRONG'."\t".$hash1{$key}."\n"; } } } }
What I cannot do is print all names of FILE1 that ARE NOT in FILE2.
Any hints?
