Re: summarization of list

Thanks to all that have responed.
Here is some more helpfull information that I probably
should have stated from the start.
The list is given to me in an excel spread sheet. Useing Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple I pull out the
data and put it in a hash of hash of hash.

$VAR1 = 'rg0005';
$VAR2 = {
          '718' => {
                     '559' => 'rg0005',
                     '554' => 'rg0005',
                     '942' => 'rg0005',

the inner 3 digits is what I have to summarize on.
So the list is large, but I think I have a starting point.
Sorting it correctly seems to be the key.
Any more sugestions are welcome!
If I get it I will post the code.
Thanks again

You still haven't explained what you're trying to do. It's only because some of the other replies belong to near psychics that you have something to work with. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]

Ok, let me see if I can explain what I am trying to do. I am taking in a list that has a format of: npa,nxx,trunkname Think phone numbers in north American dial plan. the system I am feeding can take the whole 6 digits, but will match on lesser digits. So Instead of always inputting all 6 digits and pointing that to a trunk group. I can say 33021 points to trunk 1000 And 330215 points to trunk 10002 Meaning that all other nxx combinations except 330215 will match trunk 1000. Hope this make sense.	[reply]
