Separating multiple keyword search input

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I seek wisdom in regards to referencing an assigned scaler variable - $search_line = $fields{'keywords'}; and a 2nd scaler variable which performs the same funtion - $search_line2 = $fields{'keywords'};. The 2nd variable must not eliminate the value of the first, but include the same assignment from a different file. Initially, I need to separate the return results of search_line and search_line2. The initial assignment opens 2 files (by design) Assignment:

foreach $item (@resultline, @premium_resultline)
[download]

open (SIDX, "$data_dir/search.idx");
open (SIDX2, "$data_dir/search2.idx");
[download]

then pulls in 2/both files for reading/search simultaneously:


(@skeyw) = split(/ /,$search_line);
[download]


if ($file_locking ne "No"){flock (SIDX, LOCK_SH) or die "Can't set loc
+k for file: $data_dir/search.idx, $data_dir/search2.idx $!\n";}
    while($line3 = <SIDX>)
    {

    $line2 = <SIDX2>;
    $sline = "${line1}${line2}${line3}";
    
    
    foreach $kwr (@skeyw)
        {

        if (($sline =~ /$kwr/i) and ($kwr ne "")) 
        {
                
            $toadk = "true";
            }
            
        }

        if ($toadk eq "true")
            {
            $premium_resultline[$icnt] = "${line2}";
            $resultline[$icnt] = "${line3}";
            
        #    $resultline[$icnt] = "${line1}${line2}${line3}";


            $toadk = false;
            $icnt++;
            }

    }
    
    
     #if ($file_locking ne "No"){flock (CIT, LOCK_UN);}
close (SIDX);
close (SIDX2);
}
[download]

I am thinking this for logic reasons: $search_line = $fields{'keywords'}; $search_line2 = $fields{'keywords'};

(@skeyw) = split(/ /,$search_line);
(@skeyw) = split(/ /,$search_line2);
[download]

However this does not allow for logic since I need the @skeyw to split itself once yet recognize that SIDX and SIDX2 are separate files. The search result return is:


sub get_search_ready
{
my ($search_line) = @_;
my ($search_line2) = @premium_resultline;

$reline = $search_line;
$reline = $search_line2;

$reline =~ s/[+\[\]()*^.\$?\\~<>;]//g;

return ($reline);
}

G'day Dente, nice to see you again. If I recall correctly you've already asked a very similar question a couple of times: assigning flat file dbs to arrays Array extraction and separate returns I'm not quite sure what was wrong in my original answer: 350643. Perhaps now would be a good time to step away from the code and give us a broad description of what you're trying to achieve. It might go something like the following: I have two files with search indexes in them. My criteria for these search indexes are different for both files. I would like a suggestion on how I can ... and get back ... We can see the code, but it's not helping us understand the problem you're trying to solve. all the best, jarich Update: Just thought I'd point out that you've also had some very good answers at yet another attempt at this question over here: Separating multiple keyword search input.

It is not clear what you are asking. For information about perl hashes, please read the "perldata" documentation. It seems like you would like to construct a hash with keywords, so you can reference it like : `my %kwhash = (word1=> undef, word2=>undef); # SPLIT your line of input, then match each word while (my $line = <SIDX2>){ for my $word (split / /, $line){ if (defined $kwhash{$word}){ # Process for FOUND keyword } }` [download] Earth first!

Sorry, but your question is most unclear. In your code, you have two files and `$line2` is read from one file and `$line3` is read from the second file, but `$sline = "${line1}${line2}${line3}";`. Where does `$line1` come from? Examine what is said, not who speaks.
