Please monks you are my only hope:
This piece of code opens a file an dumps contents into array. I want to get rid of possible repeated lines of text. When I run the code, it substitutes repeated elements for only one instance. Yes this is what I want but I do not want the order of the elements to change. Current implementation does not keep correct order when I dump the unique lines into a new file. Please help!
open (FILE,"$tempfile5") || die "Cannot read from $tempfile5\n";
my %hsh;
open (OUTF,">$tempfile6") || die "Cannot write to $tempfile6\n";
my @lines = <FILE>;
undef @hsh{@lines};
my @lines2 = keys %hsh;
foreach my $instance (@lines2)
{
print OUTF $instance;
}
close FILE;
close OUTF;

by footpad: Revised HTML formatting to be more appropriate, e.g. replace <I> tags with <CODE> tags and removed extraneous <BR> tags.

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).

are good places to start.
