Consider:

use strict; use warnings; my $man1 = <<MAN; EXECUTE 1302267 help.txt RUN 387469 help.txt PIPE 34010402 run.exe MAN my $man2 = <<MAN; EXECUTE 1302267 help.txt RUN 387469 run.exe PIPE 34010202 run.exe MAN my %manLu1; open my $inMan, '<', \$man1; while (<$inMan>) { chomp; my ($program, $size, $file) = split ' ', $_, 3; $manLu1{$program}{$file} = $size if defined $file; } close $inMan; open $inMan, '<', \$man2; while (<$inMan>) { chomp; my ($program, $size, $file) = split ' ', $_, 3; next if ! exists $manLu1{$program}{$file} || $manLu1{$program}{$fi +le} == $size; print "1: $program\n"; print "1: $file\n"; print "1: $manLu1{$program}{$file}\n"; print "2: $size\n"; } close $inMan;

Prints:

1: PIPE 1: run.exe 1: 34010402 2: 34010202
