Okay. Now we have the OPs clarification, the output from my code consolidating equal valued intervals is:

C:\test>935755 935755.dat [ ["010005", "010022", 41], ["010023", "012359", 0], ["020000", "022359", 0], ["030000", "032359", 0], ["040000", "042359", 0], ["050000", "052359", 0], ["060000", "062359", 0], ["070000", "072359", 0], ["080000", "082359", 0], ["090000", "092359", 0], [100000, 102359, 0], [110000, 112359, 0], [120000, 122359, 0], [130000, 132359, 0], [140000, 142359, 0], [150000, 152359, 0], [160000, 162359, 0], [170000, 172359, 0], [180000, 182359, 0], [190000, 192359, 0], [200000, 202359, 0], [210000, 212359, 0], [220000, 222359, 0], [230000, 232359, 0], [240000, 242359, 0], [250000, 252359, 0], [260000, 262359, 0], [270000, 272359, 0], [280000, 282359, 0], [290000, 292359, 0], [300000, 302359, 0], [310000, 312356, 0], [312357, 312359, 27], ]

Do you concur?

The (now simplified) code for this is:

#! perl -slw use strict; use Data::Dump qw[ pp ]; sub dhm2int { my( $d, $h, $m ) = unpack '(A2)*', $_[0]; return ( ( $d - 1 ) * 24 + $h ) * 60 + $m; } sub int2dhm { sprintf "%02d%02d%02d", int($_[0]/1440)+1, int($_[0]/60)%24, $_[0] +%60; } #my @data = ( # ['010000','010010',2],['010200','010210',5],['012359','020001',3] +, # ['010005','010015',1],['010207','010211',4] #); my @data = map[ split ], <>; my @expd = map { my $in = $_; my $s = dhm2int( $in->[ 0 ] ); my $e = dhm2int( $in->[ 1 ] ); my @out; while( int( $s / 1440 ) != int( $e / 1440 ) ) { my $newe = ( int( $s / 1440 ) +1 ) * 1440 -1; push @out, [ $s, $newe, $in->[2] ]; $s = $newe +1; } ( @out, [ $s, $e, $in->[2] ] ); } @data; my( @tally ); for my $e ( 0 .. $#expd ) { my $r = $expd[ $e ]; for my $i ( $r->[ 0 ] .. $r->[ 1 ] ) { if( !defined( $tally[ $i ] ) or $tally[ $i ] > $r->[ 2 ] ) { $tally[ $i ] = $r->[ 2 ]; } } } my @res; my $i = 0; while( $i < $#tally ) { ++$i until defined $tally[ $i ]; my $val = $tally[ $i ]; my $start = $i++; ++$i while defined( $tally[ $i ] ) and $tally[ $i ] == $val and $i + % 1440; my $end = $i - 1; push @res, [ int2dhm( $start ), int2dhm( $end ), $val ]; } pp \@res;
