Re^2: concatenation of lines from two different files

Dear agianni,

Thanks a lot for your reply

Concerning your latest remark, in cases of several matches, I intend to write the other matches next to the first match, on the same line

If that's the case, you'll need to make the hash storing the contents of the first file a hash of arrays (or, rather, a hash of arrayrefs) rather than a simple hash, so you can store each line that matches the id: `my %file1_row_for; while (my $input = <THAT_FILE>){ # only grab column 2 my ( undef, $id ) = split /;/, $input; # add this line to the array of data for this key push @{ $file1_row_for{$id} } = $input; }` [download] Then when you want to output it at the end of the line you can: `print join ';', @{ $file_row_for{$id} } if scalar @{ $file_row_for{$id +} };` [download] Note that you'll just want to check for the length of the arrayref rather than definedness as in my original code. `perl -e 'split//,q{john hurl, pest caretaker}and(map{print @_[$_]}(joi +n(q{},map{sprintf(qq{%010u},$_)}(2*23074993,51016415261,75979 +36997,13177145131,3*26789167*181))=~/\d{2}/g));'` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If that's the case, you'll need to make the hash storing the contents of the first file a hash of arrays (or, rather, a hash of arrayrefs) rather than a simple hash, so you can store each line that matches the id:

my %file1_row_for;
while (my $input = <THAT_FILE>){
    # only grab column 2
    my ( undef, $id ) = split /;/, $input;
    # add this line to the array of data for this key
    push @{ $file1_row_for{$id} } = $input;
}

Then when you want to output it at the end of the line you can:

print join ';', @{ $file_row_for{$id} } if scalar @{ $file_row_for{$id
+} };

Note that you'll just want to check for the length of the arrayref rather than definedness as in my original code.

perl -e 'split//,q{john hurl, pest caretaker}and(map{print @_[$_]}(joi
+n(q{},map{sprintf(qq{%010u},$_)}(2**2*307*4993,5*101*641*5261,7*59*79
+*36997,13*17*71*45131,3**2*67*89*167*181))=~/\d{2}/g));'
