I got the following output:
C:\Old_Data\perlp>perl t33.pl david Website: www.facebook.com, Category: Social Networking john Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.yahoo.com, Category: Entertainment Website: www.facebook.com, Category: Social Networking mike Website: www.google.com, Category: Search Engines Name: john Website Count www.yahoo.com 3 www.facebook.com 1 Type Count Entertainment 3 Social Networking 1 Name: mike Website Count www.google.com 1 Type Count Search Engines 1 Name: david Website Count www.facebook.com 1 Type Count Social Networking 1
From this data:
user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment" user="david" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="john" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking" user="mike" website="www.google.com" type="Search Engines"
Notice that there are quotes surrounding every field. The regular expression that captures these fields from the file would need to be changed if thats not the case.

In my program I use 2 hashes - one to count the number of sites visited by each user, %count, and one to count each address and category (by user), %data. It seems to work OK for this small data set.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my (%data, %count); while (<DATA>) { my ($user, $site, $cat) = /"([^"]+)"/g; $data{$user}{ qq{$site$;$cat} }++; $count{$user}++; } for my $user (sort keys %data) { my $href = $data{$user}; print $user, "\n"; for my $key (keys %$href) { my $str = sprintf "\tWebsite: %s, Category: %s\n", split /$;/, + $key; print $str x $href->{$key}; } } my @ordered = sort {$count{$b} <=> $count{$a}} keys %count; print "\n\n"; for my $user (@ordered) { my $href = $data{$user}; print "Name: $user\n\tWebsite Count\n"; for my $key (sort {$href->{$b} <=> $href->{$a}} keys %$href) { printf "\t%-20s%d\n", (split /$;/, $key)[0], $href->{$key}; } print "\n"; print "\tType Count\n"; for my $key (sort {$href->{$b} <=> $href->{$a}} keys %$href) { printf "\t%-20s%d\n", (split /$;/, $key)[1], $href->{$key}; } print "\n\n"; }
The line $data{$user}{ qq{$site$;$cat} }++; uses a 'compound' key ($site and $cat joined by $;).

Here is a dump of %data.

$VAR1 = { 'john' => { 'www.yahoo.com‡˜Entertainment' => 3, 'www.facebook.com‡˜Social Networking' => 1 }, 'mike' => { 'www.google.com‡˜Search Engines' => 1 }, 'david' => { 'www.facebook.com‡˜Social Networking' => } };

Update: Whoops, that doesn't count the categories correctly :-(
If there was another site with the same category, it wouldn't be totaled with the same category from another site.
