I don't know what you mean by "gate (10.1.254.254)", etc. but, in general, if you have arrays @arr1, @arr2, @arr3, etc., you can make an array of arrays like this:

my @AoA = ( \@arr1, \@arr2, \@arr3, ... );

my @AoA = ( [ gate('10.1.254.254') ], [ router('193.83.153.254') ], ..
+. );

I do not know for certain what you want your datastructure to look like. The data looks like it might be more logical in a hash. for example:

$ip_data{gate} == "10.1.254.254"

Please give us more details on the datastructure you have and what you need to do with it.

Hi robot_tourist,

many thanx for your help!

$refaLines has following data:
1 cat-itd-05 (10.1.254.253) 1.16 ms 4.352 ms 2.714 ms
2 gate (10.1.254.254) 0.792 ms 1.178 ms 7.758 ms
3 router (193.83.153.254) 9.341 ms * 14.323 ms

I only want a list which looks like this:
1 cat-itd-05 (10.1.254.253)
2 gate (10.1.254.254)
3 router (193.83.153.254)

I wrote following code:


sub ExtractHopHostIp{
    my $refaLines=shift;

    my @Fields;
    my @FoundHops;

    print @$refaLines,"\n";
        
    for (@$refaLines) {
        s/[ \t]+/ /g; # remove duplicate blanks and tabs
        @Fields=split / /,$_;
        splice(@Fields,4); # get fields from the array
        push @FoundHops,@Fields;

    }

    @FoundHops = join " ",@FoundHops;

    print @FoundHops,"\n";

}

But I get this:
1 cat-itd-05 (10.1.254.253) 2 gate (10.1.254.254) 3 router (193.83.153.254)

Many thanx for any help!

I do not think the last join is doing what you want it to. It is putting your list of values into one long string.

Check the three lines after the s/\t+/ /g; and think about where your data are actually going. You really just want an array of strings. One string for each line, in this case one string for each hop. Each separate element of @Fields became a separate element of @FoundHops. Then you joined it all together into one long string.

e.g. after the first time round the loop, @FoundHops is the following list of scalars: ("1", "cat-itd-05", "10.1.254.253")
