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

This is my first time writing perl and I want to take a CSV file which looks similar to this:

mask No. , block, size, base addr (hex), end addr (hex)--about 20 h +eader names fpg23, b002, 16384, 60000, 63FFF fpg23, b002, 16384, 800000, 803FFF fpg23, b003, 0, F00000, F00000 fpg23, b003, 4, F00000, F00004 fpg23, b003, 8, F00000, F00008 --so on for a variable amount of lines

so each line is represented as its own block, but I want to be able after reading the file, to sort the file by base address and be able to access other information in its line such as the end addr. my coworker said to use hashes, so I'm thinking of a multidimensional hash. I'm thinking that the column names are the keys of the hash, so can I sort a specific key (aka Base addr. (hex) key? this is my current code, from what I understand it is making the column name keys and it is reading line by line, but those values, are they private to that while loop? I believe I have to incorporate them in my hash table that I'm calling %reghash, just unclear of how to do that. I'd appreciate any help/feedback. Thank you!

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use Text::CSV_XS; my $filename = 'test1.csv'; my %reghash; open(my $fh, '<', $filename) or die "Can't open $filename: $!"; my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, #allow special character. always set this auto_diag => 1, #report irregularities immediately }); $csv->column_names ($csv->getline ($fh)); #use header while (my $row = $csv->getline_hr ($fh)){ printf "Base Address: %s\n", $row->{"Base Addr. (Hex)"}; } close $fh;

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).
