how to attribute all the devices to the names
I guess you want to build a Hash of Arrays (HoA)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my $infile = 'text.txt';
open IN,'<',$infile
or die "Could not open $infile : $!";
my $name;
my %hash = ();
while (<IN>){
s/^\s+|\s+$//g; # trim leading/trailing spaces
my ($col1,$col2) = split /\s+/,$_,2;
if ($col1 eq 'name'){
$name = $col2;
} elsif ($col1 eq 'device') {
push @{$hash{$name}},$col2;
} else {
# skip line
}
}
close IN;
print Dumper \%hash;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
