Ok here is the code, is doing almost everything that I want ecxept for when I put exit I wanted to print the answer. For example put in my ID and my DNA X amount of times and them write exit and print out the hash. here is the code
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my %hash; print ("put ID fallowed by a comma "," with the DNA for that ID\n\n"); chomp (my $in=<STDIN>); while ($in) { if ($in=~ /exit/i){ exit,} #Split the input on a coma into a maximum of two fields my ($id,$dna)= split m/,/, $in, 2; $hash{$id}= $dna; print "Please enter another ID and DNA\n"; chomp ($in= <STDIN>); } #Print hash contents while(my($key,$value)= each %hash){ print ">$key $value\n"; }
