Download that code an run it; it will produce the following output:#!/usr/bin/perl use Data::Dumper; # only for teaching purpose $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1; # dito :-) while(<DATA>) { chop; my($familyname,$memberstring) = split /\s--\s/,$_; my @members = split /, /,$memberstring; # tell each member that it's got a new family foreach my $member(@members) { push(@{$family{$member}},$familyname); } } print Dumper(\%family); # show the data structure in %family # now output a list of members with their families foreach my $member(sort keys %family) { print "$member can be found " . scalar(@{$family{$member}}) . ": " . join(" ", @{$family{$member}}) . "\n"; } __DATA__ FLINTSTONES -- BARNEY, FRED, WILMA JETSONS -- MAX, TONY, WILMA SIMPSONS -- LISA, BARNEY, WILMA, HOMER ALCATRAZ -- ELIJAH, MAX, WILMA
If you need more advice or explanation, fell free to ask.$VAR1 = { 'ELIJAH' => [ 'ALCATRAZ' ], 'FRED' => [ 'FLINTSTONES' ], 'HOMER' => [ 'SIMPSONS' ], 'BARNEY' => [ 'FLINTSTONES', 'SIMPSONS' ], 'MAX' => [ 'JETSONS', 'ALCATRAZ' ], 'LISA' => [ 'SIMPSONS' ], 'WILMA' => [ 'FLINTSTONES', 'JETSONS', 'SIMPSONS', 'ALCATRAZ' ], 'TONY' => [ 'JETSONS' ] }; BARNEY can be found 2: FLINTSTONES SIMPSONS ELIJAH can be found 1: ALCATRAZ FRED can be found 1: FLINTSTONES HOMER can be found 1: SIMPSONS LISA can be found 1: SIMPSONS MAX can be found 2: JETSONS ALCATRAZ TONY can be found 1: JETSONS WILMA can be found 4: FLINTSTONES JETSONS SIMPSONS ALCATRAZ
But before that - read the manual pages perldata, perlref and the one for Data::Dumper
