Hi Monks, I don't thoroughly understand arrays and hashes and even The Camel is difficult to figure out this fairly simple task. If you can help, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have a script that is chopping thousands of records into the sections that I need to evaluate weekly. Currently I am writing to a file a server name and data sizes to a csv. I have a few hundred unique servers with hundreds, if not thousands of lines for each server with varying data sizes. I would like to combine the data sizes for each unique server into one line per server. For example I am now producing: server1,4,2,2 server1,6,2,2 server1,4,1,1 server2,10,1,2 server2,1,1,1 I would like this to be: server1,14,5,5 server2,11,2,3 I am almost certain that I have to make a hash with the server name as the key but I'm thinking that there may be an easier way. Any help would be appreciated. Urbs
