Hi, I have a code below. The __DATA__ contains the two files which is in Standard Intermediate Format and separation of the file is based on control characters at the start. I have to list all the tags which is in the braces and if the same tag exists twice it should not be displayed twice. The code which i have written displays only some of the tags. Please provide me a solutions. How to display all the tags but not repeated. If the tag is present twice within the same file I have to print "The key DATE is multiple" For example, DATE is present twice in the first file. How to print it multiple.
#!/usr/bin/perl my %hTmp; while($_=<DATA>){ if($_ =~ m/\{/){ next if $_ =~ m/^\d+/; #remove empty lines print $_ unless ($hTmp{$_}++); } } __DATA__ ^C^D^V^V^A os01 0002 010101 R S 0012310002 00003466^B{IT} R {SOURCETAG} 0012310002 {ACCESSION} 000000 {PUBLICATION} THE ORLANDO SENTINEL {EDITION} METRO {DATE} 010101 {DATE} 010102 {TDATE} Monday, January 1, 2001 {SECTION} SPECIAL SECTION {PAGE} E2 {ZONE} FLORIDA {KEYWORDS} VOLUNTEER SUPPORT {SECTION} SPECIAL SECTION1 {SEND} YES ^C^D^V^V^A os01 0003 010101 R S 0012310003 00001558^B{IT} R {SOURCETAG} 0012310003 {ACCESSION} 000000 {PUBLICATION} THE ORLANDO SENTINEL {HI}hi {EDITION} METRO {DATE} 010101 {TDATE} Monday, January 1, 2001 {SEND} YES
