in reply to Hash printing problem
I get this as output:#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my %hoh = ( "A1" => { "bl" => 0, "ff" => 4, "gg" => 3 }, "A2" => { "cc" => 5, "dd" => 4, "ee" => 9 }, "B1" => { "og" => 0, "wo" => 4, "ee" => 3 }, "B2" => { "oo" => 5, "pp" => 4, "zz" => 9 } ); # The names of the hashes to print my @keys_to_sort = sort keys %hoh; # As long we still have hashes to print while ( @keys_to_sort ) { # Extract hashes to use in current row # Smarter way to get the first part of the hash name? my $last = substr $keys_to_sort[0], 0, 1; my @keys_to_use; for ( my $i = 0; $i < @keys_to_sort; $i++ ) { if ( $keys_to_sort[$i] =~ /^$last/ ) { push @keys_to_use, splice( @keys_to_sort, $i, 1 ); $i--; } } print "\n", join( "\t", @keys_to_use ), "\n"; # Print key number $i of every hash in the array # Exchange keys %... with maximum number of keys in @keys_to_use for ( my $i = 0; $i < keys %{$hoh{$keys_to_use[0]}}; $i++ ) { # Print hashes - This relies on all hashes having # the same number of keys print join( "\t", map { my @keys_of_hash = sort keys %{$hoh{$_}}; $keys_of_hash[$i] . "=>" . $hoh{$_}{$keys_of_hash[$i]}; } @keys_to_use ), "\n"; } }
As said in the program, this piece of code relies on every hash to have the same number of keys and that the keys remain the same while looping over them. This could be improved by replacing keys %{$hoh{$keys_to_use[0]}} with a function that determines the maximum of keys.A1 A2 bl=>0 cc=>5 ff=>4 dd=>4 gg=>3 ee=>9 B1 B2 ee=>3 oo=>5 og=>0 pp=>4 wo=>4 zz=>9
