Re^2: array matching problems

Hi borisz, mant thanks for you response. The code works well but I don't understand it! How can i get it to print each new string to a new array (where each string can be accessed by element number)? AM

the first part build a hash of arrays with the numbers as the key. `%h = ( '1' => [ 'hello', 'you', 'tree' ], '3' => [ 'sun', 'grass' ], '2' => [ 'people', 'fun' ], ... );` [download] The second for loop grap the array and join the words. To grap a entry use `$num = 1; $string = join '', @{$h{$num}}; # string is now helloyoutree $num = 4; # select the string with number 4 ( lovefood ) $string = join '', @{$h{$num}};` [download] Boris	[reply] [d/l] [select]

%h = ( 
         '1' => [
                   'hello',
                   'you',
                   'tree'
                 ],
          '3' => [
                   'sun',
                   'grass'
                 ],
          '2' => [
                   'people',
                   'fun'
                 ],
         ...
);

  $num = 1;
  $string = join '', @{$h{$num}}; # string is now helloyoutree
  $num = 4; # select the string with number 4 ( lovefood )
  $string = join '', @{$h{$num}};
