I have a text file named cust with 3 fields, time, customer name, location
$ cat cust
12:10 a america
12:11 b bombay
12:12 c calcutta
12:13 a australia
2:30 b bhutan
3:40 n neterland
Created a script cust.pl to iterate over each hash
$ cat cust.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
open FILE1, "cust" or die;
my %hash;
my %location;
while (my $line=<FILE1>) {
chomp($line);
(my $word1,my $word2, my $word3) = split /\s+/, $line;
push (@{$hash{$word2}},$word1);
push (@{$location{$word2}},$word3);
}
for $user (sort keys %hash) {
print "$user: @{$hash{$user}} \n";
}
for $loc (sort keys %location) {
print "$loc: @{$location{$loc}} \n";
}
Getting the following output:
$ ./cust.pl
a: 12:10 12:13
b: 12:11 2:30
c: 12:12
n: 3:40
a: america australia
b: bombay bhutan
c: calcutta
n: neterland
Instead I want the output something like the following. Can you guys please help.
a: 12:10 12:13 : america australia
