Re^3: Attempting to fill a hash

I would add:

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\%hashlist);

to see what %hashlist contains. That will probably clarify a lot of things.

Added that plug in and ran the code. (I used a majorly slimmed down version of the text file for this example.) Here are the results This is what is in the text file in order: `a aah aahed aahing aahs aardvark aardvarks aardwolf ab This is what Dump returned $VAR1 = { ' => 1, 'a ' => 1, 'aahed ' => 1, 'aahs ' => 1, 'aardwolf ' => 1, 'aahing ' => 1, 'aardvark ' => 1, 'aardvarks ' => 1, 'ab ' => 1 'aah };` [download] I notice both the vales and the keys are there, however when i do. print "$hashlist{a}\n"; it returns null followed by a \n. they are also out of order, but for the use I have in mind that is unimportant as long as they all read.

they are also out of order As expected, according to the documentation (perldata): `Note that just because a hash is initialized in that order doesn't mea +n that it comes out in that order. See sort for examples of how to ar +range for an output ordering.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
