Re^3: Attempting to fill a hash

Based on your Data::Dumper output it is clear that you still have newlines at the end of your hash keys. Are you sure you are doing:

  chomp;
  $hashlist{$_} = 1;

or do you have something else?

you still have newlines rather looks like carriage returns (`\r`) to me.	[reply] [d/l]

I wonder if `s/\s+$//` or similar would have not ended the misery sooner than continued use of `chomp` (in retrospect, of course).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, I do. Just an FYI, when I create a blank file from scratch and type in some random words like a b c d e f it dumps the correct data, and I can pull up values so I'm begining to think the file i'm using may not be interpreted correctly in perl.	[reply]
