Definitely one of those things that appears on the surface to be trivial, but turns out to be much harder:
Here's one way
#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];
my %hash;
while( <DATA> ) {
chomp;
my( $pre, $temp ) = m[(^.+?)(\d+|\D)$];
$temp = $pre . ++$temp;
if( exists $hash{ $_ } ) {
push @{ $hash{ $_ } }, $_;
}
elsif( exists $hash{ $temp } ) {
push @{ $hash { $temp } }, $_;
}
else {
$hash{ $temp } = [ $_ ];
$hash{ $_ } = [ $_ ];
}
}
print join ';', @{ $_ }
for grep{ @{ $_ } == 2 } values %hash;
__DATA__
AAA30
BBC5
SHT12H
DAL33B
BBC49
AAA31
DAL33A
BBC6
SHT12G
BBC50
Output:
C:\test>junk
DAL33B;DAL33A
AAA30;AAA31
BBC49;BBC50
BBC5;BBC6
SHT12H;SHT12G
If you need the doubled-up output, just print them twice with the elements reversed.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
