Hello!
I'm newbi and sill I've got some troubles with simple things. I know that
practice is a way to perfection, so I'm training all exercises I can find.
And I've found something like this:
In articles.txt files is:
[Athlon 4000+]
price=300 euro
produce=AMD
description=Fast
[Celeron 3000]
price=200 euro
produce=Intel
description=Slower
How to parse this into:
%hash(
"item"=>"Athlon 4000+",
"price"=>"300 euro"
"produce"="AMD"
"description="Fast");
etc...
I've made some terrible stupid code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $file = "articles.txt";
open( FILE, "< $file" );
my @all = <FILE>;
close FILE;
my $temp;
my ( @art, @produce, @prices, @descriptions );
foreach $temp (@all) {
if ( $temp =~ m/\[(.*)\]/ ) {
push @art, $1;
}
}
foreach $temp (@all) {
if ( $temp =~ m/produce=(.*)/ ) {
push @produce, $1;
}
}
foreach $temp (@all) {
if ( $temp =~ m/price=(.*)/ ) {
push @prices, $1;
}
}
foreach $temp (@all) {
if ( $temp =~ m/descriptions=(.*)/ ) {
push @descriptions, $1;
}
}
and try to do with it something like this:
my %hash = (
"art" => ( shift @art ),
"produce" => ( shift @produce ),
"price" => ( shift @prices ),
"descriptions" => ( shift @descriptions)
);
I know it is totaly stupid - this is the worse code i ever wrote, but I have no idea how to do things like that.
Any compassionate monk can whisper me any hint?
Thanks a lot
Uksza

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).
