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

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.
