( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Here is a super-fast script i just wrote using this information. It's for finding email addresses (elements) in one file that aren't in another.
#!/usr/bin/perl # File definitions $file1 = "first_file.txt"; # File with emails that might be duplicated + on 2nd file $file2 = "second_file.txt"; # These emails have already been used. $file3 = "finalemails.txt"; # Final product - emails that havn't been +used yet. # Load arrays with file contents open(FILE, "<$file1") || die "Can't open $file1\n"; @updatelist = <FILE>; close(FILE); open(FILE, "<$file2") || die "Can't open $file2\n"; @storelist = <FILE>; close(FILE); # Set %elements hash to 1 for each address in store list. foreach (@storelist) { $elements{$_} = 1; }; # Loop to create the final array of emails foreach $update(@updatelist) { if (!find_in_store($update)) { push @finallist, $update; } } # Write final array to file open(FILE, ">$file3") || die "Can't open $file3\n"; print FILE @finallist; close(FILE); # Routine to check for existance of an address. sub find_in_store { $element = $_[0]; if (exists $elements{$element}) { return(1); } else { return (0); } }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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:
    <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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
