I want add some information to c file. I have two hash tables one hash table contains information about some strings and numbers to stings like as shown below.


    hash table1
     (keys)(string nubers)    (values)string names
      24                         temperature
      25                         pressure

like that i have second hash table. numbers in the both hash tables are same and each string having unique number.there is no repetion in numbers like 1 to 100 numbers. now in my c file i have the sting names like temperature and humidity and pressure..... i have to search that string using these hash tables and i have to add information after the string if i found any string in the c file. i have written code like this but its notworking.

 #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
 
open (my $code , "<", 'ccode.c');
 
my %data = ('24'=>":&temperature \n",
'25'=>": &pressure \n",
'26'=>": &humidity\n",
);
 
my %nums = ( '24'=>": information1\n",
'25'=>": information2 \n", 
'26'=>": information3 \n",
); 
 
 
my $test_string="(" .join("|", keys %data).")" ;
 
while(<$code>){
 
if (/$test_string/){
 
chomp;
 
%data= reverse %data;
 
$_.=$nums{$data{1}}; 
}
print $_
}
