in reply to Re: Comparing 2 csv files
in thread Comparing 2 csv files

I was trying not to get to fancy, this is what I have so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl

$f1 = 'C:\file1.csv';
open FILE1, "$f1" or die "Could not open file $f1\n";
$f2 = 'C:\file2.csv';
open FILE2, "$f2" or die "Could not open file $f2\n";
 
$outfile = 'C:\output.csv';
 
open (OUT, ">$outfile") or die "Cannot open $outfile for writing \n";

foreach (<FILE1>) 
{
   my @outer_text = $_;
   @outer_text = split (/,/);
   if ($outer_text[0] =~ "^Kelly\$")
    {
    @outer_text = $_;
    }

   seek(FILE2,0,0);

 
foreach (<FILE2>) 
{
   my @inner_text = $_;
   @inner_text = split (/,/);
   if ($inner_text[0] =~ "^Kelly\$") 
    {
    if (@outer_text eq @inner_text) 
        {
        print OUT $_;
        }
    }
}
}

close OUT;
 
close FILE1;
close FILE2;

    I got it!!! 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

$f1 = 'C:/f1.csv;
open FILE1, "$f1" or die "Could not open file $f1\n";
$f2 = 'C:/f2.csv';
open FILE2, "$f2" or die "Could not open file $f2\n";
 
$outfile = 'C:/outfile.csv';
 
open (OUT, ">$outfile") or die "Cannot open $outfile for writing \n";

foreach (<FILE1>){
   my @outer_text = split (/,/, $_);
   if ($outer_text[0] =~ "^Kelly\$")
    {
    $status{$outer_text[1].$outer_text[2].$outer_text[10]} = $_;
    }
}
close FILE1;

foreach (<FILE2>){
       @inner_text = split (/,/, $_);
       $x = '';
    $x = $status{$inner_text[1].$inner_text[2].$inner_text[10]};      
+ 
    if($x gt ''){
        print OUT $_;
    }
}
