Re: search and extract from a large hash

If I read your code correctly, you only need this:

foreach (@data_in) {
  chomp;
  $strSpec_protein_hash{$_} = $goodProteins_hash{$_};
}

This is exactly what hashes are good at and your loop is in a way removing that advantage again ;-)

Holy crap, you have no idea how much time that will save me!! I suspected all along that I was doing something daft, but I'm still getting to grips with Perl so once I'd found a way that worked i was reluctant to fiddle... Thanks again man Reuben	[reply]

Or just this: `chomp @data_in; @strSpec_protein_hash{ @data_in } = @goodProteins_hash{ @data_in };` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
