fseng has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This is multiple record data with the definition of the record types being:A,01,Newton,Issac,Physics, 5.6 B,144.56 B,1034.65 B,12.23 A,34,Einstein,Albert,Physics,12.22 B,2346.89 B,876.23 B,7656.81 B,745.21 B,25.63 B,89.56 B,7789.23
I have create the structure as above but now I want to refer to one of the values in %accounts to do sth with it. E.G. Add a new transaction '-37' to member 'Feynman'. and Copy all the transactions for Feynman into an array called @trans. How can I do this? I tried sth like this%accounts = ( ’78’ => { ’surname’ => ’Feynman’, ’firstname’ => ’Richard’, ’job’ => ’Physics’, ’balance’ => -17.34, ’transactions => [ 7412.36, 2589.35, 95.32, 12.85, 789.68 ], }, ’89’ => { ’surname’ => ’Merx’, ... },
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dumper; my ( $number, %accounts ); while ( <DATA> ) { chomp; if ( /^A,/ ) { ( undef, $number, my @fields ) = split /,/, $_, -1; @{ $accounts{ $number } }{ qw/ surname firstname job balance / + } = @fields; } elsif ( /^B,/ ) { my $transaction = ( split /,/ )[ 1 ]; push @{ $accounts{ $number }{ transactions } }, $transaction; } } my $account_hash = $accounts->{78}; foreach my $transactions ($account_hash){ push @{ $account_hash{ transactions } }, '-42.37'; } print Dumper $account_hash{ transactions };
