As far I understood your post, here is my suggestion but not sure whether I got your question right or not.
use Data::Dumper; $rows = { 0 => {0 => "zero", 1=>"One", 2=>"kjh"} , 1 => {0 => "zero", 1=>"One", 2=>"sdfgsd"}, 2 => {0 => "zero", 1 =>"Two", 2=>"ety"}, 4 => {0 => "zero", 1 =>"Two", 2=>"dfgdfg"}, 5 => {0 => "zero", 1 =>"Two", 2=>"Test"}, }; print Dumper $rows; %line_pointer=(); foreach my $row ( keys %$rows ) { my $cols = $rows->{$row}; if ( $cols->{0} ) { $line_pointer{$cols->{1}}{"numberOfLines"} = $line_pointer{$cols->{ +1}}++; } } print Dumper \%line_pointer;
Output :
$VAR1 = { 'Two' => 3, 'One' => 2 };
