Re^2: Nested Data Structures for Dummies?

So what if you have a list of countries, where each country has a list of provinces, and each province has a list of cities, and some cities have lists of neighborhoods? But you only need neighborhoods with names beginning with "k" in provinces that begin with "c". This is where I start getting confused and looking for a stiff drink.

You did exactly what I suggested you don't do. Don't look at the whole. These are the things you actually need to do: Identify if a neighbourhood name starts with 'k'. Get a city's list of neighbourhoods. Get a province's list of cities. Identify if a province's name starts with 'c'. Get a country's list of provinces. Get a list of countries. They're all independent. Nothing in there even suggests that you have a nested structure in memory. The hard part: `print("$country_name/$province_name/$city_name/$neighbourhood_name\n") if $neighbourhood_name =~ /^k/i;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
