Re^2: Searching in an array of arrays

Hello zejames!
Thanks a lot for your reply. I do not understand your code fully, please bear with me. What
are the variables last_range and first_day used for, and what should their initial values be?

Also for this line,

my $range = $day->[1] - ($day->[1] % 5);
[download]

I get this error:

Operation `%': no method found,left argument in overloaded package XML
+::XPath::Literal,right argument has no overloaded magic at C:\..\xmlr
+ecord_parse.pl line 604.
[download]

Using sprintf removes the error, but I'm not sure whether this is correct(i.e. the control string "%f"):

  my  $range = sprintf("%f","$day->[1]") - (sprintf("%
  f","$day->[1]") % 5);
[download]

My array of arrays @data looks like this:

[ 1-1-2004 15.0 ],
     [ 2-1-2004 15.5 ],
     [ 3-1-2004 16.5 ],
     [ 4-1-2004 17.0 ],
     [ 5-1-2004 17.5 ],
     [ 6-1-2004 18.0 ],
     [ 7-1-2004 18.5 ],
     [ 8-1-2004 19.0 ],
     [ 9-1-2004 19.5 ],
     [ 10-1-2004 25.0 ],
     [ 11-1-2004 26.5 ],
     [ 12-1-2004 27.5 ],
     [ 13-1-2004 28.0 ],
     [ 14-1-2004 29.5 ],
     [ 15-1-2004 28.0 ],
     [ 16-1-2004 28.8 ],
[download]

So the resulting array of arrays I need to build should look like this:

1-1-2004 5-1-2004    mild
10-1-2004 14-1-2004  verywarm
[download]

The values of $range (printing inside the loop)I'm getting are:

15
15.5
15.5
15
15.5
15
15.5
15
15.5
25
25.5
25.5
25
25.5
25
25.8
[download]

This statements does not print anything:

print "$first_day $day->[0] ".$ranges{$range}."\n";
[download]

Please help, really need it!

Thanks,

I don't understand your first problem. Testing my code here with the `@data` defined as : `@data = ( [ '1-1-2004', 15.0 ], [ '2-1-2004', 15.5 ], [ '3-1-2004', 16.5 ], [ '4-1-2004', 17.0 ], [ '5-1-2004', 17.5 ], [ '6-1-2004', 18.0 ], [ '7-1-2004', 18.5 ], [ '8-1-2004', 19.0 ], [ '9-1-2004', 19.5 ], ... [ '16-1-2004', 28.8 ]);` [download] does work here. Could you provide code ? Your problem seems to be XML related. As for the range, you're right, there is problem, that is corrected in the new version, by converting temperature to an integer : `$day->[1] = int $day->[1];` [download] `$last_range` is used to remember the current range we are in. If that range remains unchanged 5 times, we print the range information. `$first_day` is used to remember the first day we saw the temperature of the current range; HTH -- zejames	[reply] [d/l] [select]
