( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

From the OP:

I can access each element by using @Data[$_]{ID}, @Data[$_]{Score}...

I assume this was a misprint for $Data[$_]{ID}, $Data[$_], since you are accessing single elements, not array slices.

it's array of array of hashes and chorobas code works.

Here is how choroba’s code works for me:

use strict; use warnings; my @data = ( { ID => 'AA', Score => 20 }, { ID => 'D', Score => 30 }, { ID => 'F', Score => 7 }, { ID => 'AA', Score => 3 }, ); ## choroba's solution: my %by_id; push @{ $by_id{ $_->{ID} } }, $_->{Score} for @data; # Sort the scores for each id. $_ = [ sort { $b <=> $a } @$_ ] for values %by_id; # Sort the ids by the highest score. for my $id (sort { $by_id{$b}[0] <=> $by_id{$a}[0] } keys %by_id) { print "ID: $id\tScore: $_\n" for @{ $by_id{$id} }; }

As you can see, there is only one array; i.e., @data is an array of hashes (AoH).

Hope that helps,

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
