in reply to oh boy!

An example script to pull this data would be nice. Anyone up for the challenge?

Is that what the professor said?

    urgh..it's not homework...here's my example script...please help...

    #!/usr/bin/perl ##BILLING PROGRAM## use strict; my(@data,@data2); ##open needed files to use in program open(FILE, "../Counts/newdata.txt") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; open(FILE2, "../Counts/info.csv") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; ##throw files into arrays and define arrays chomp(@data = <FILE>); chomp(@data2 = <FILE2>); ##define hash my ($id,$name,$srid); my %keyhash = ( $id => { NAME => $name, SRID => $srid, CSV => [] } ); ##populate arrays: foreach ( @data ) { ##define variables my ($id,$name,$srid) = split /,/; # Add some error checking to make sure the # hash key $id does not already exist $keyhash{$id} = { NAME => $name, SRID => $srid, CSV => [], } } ##print unused ids from csv file print "\n\nUnused ids from csv file\n"; print "--------------------------\n"; foreach ( @data2 ) { my ($id,$name,$srid) = split /,/; # Warn and do nothing if a record is found for which the # $name is not already in %keyhash unless ( defined( $keyhash{$name} ) ) { warn "No such record $id!\n"; next; } push @{$keyhash{$id}{CSV}}, [ $name, $srid ]; } ##Finally, extract the number of records for each customer ##print column headers print "\n\n"; print "Customer #of docs\n"; print "-------------------------\n"; # A little something to get the plurality correct foreach ( keys %keyhash ) { my $num = @{$keyhash{$_}{CSV}}; printf "%s %d\n", $keyhash{$_}{NAME}, $num, } ##just formatting by adding a couple returns at the end of the printou +t print "\n\n"; ##my choice of data structures ( hashes instead of arrays ) is dependa +nt ##on how we want to use the data later. ##close files close (FILE); close (FILE2); ##exit program exit;


    Here it is. Thanks for beating me up :) ..
