Re^3: hash question..

Please add these 2 lines to your script, then run your script, then post the output of your script so that we may all see the contents of the @line array:

print "line contains:\n";
print Dumper(\@line);
[download]

It will be useful for the rest of to know if this is a simple array, or an array of arrays, or an array of hashes, etc. And we will be able to see if there is even a 4th element of the array.

If the File hashes are not too big, please also post their contents.

Also, make sure you are using the strictures (use warnings; use strict;), as these may help to point out undefined or unititialized variables.

toolic: I do use warnings;use strict Well it turns out to be even simpler than that. When I was reading from the flat files, (using substr), I somehow have spaces in my key. Thus I was not able to find a match. I was not able to see the spaces but when I did (something similiar to what SuicideJunkie suggested.) `print "{$line[3]}";` [download] I noticed the spaces and that explained why I was not able to have my if statement be satisfied. Thanks for all the help and time to everyone!!	[reply] [d/l]
