Need Help??

Your data file seems to contain several items per line, but you're only looking for one. Maybe try

while ($line =~ /(\d+)\s+(\w+)/g) {
    $hash{$1} = $2;
}

In your inner loop.

Update: added /g, as noted by AnomalousMonk.

Loop condition `while ($line =~ /(\d+)\s+(\w+)/) { ... }` will produce infinite loop. Use /g regex modifier to extract all pairs: `while ($line =~ /(\d+)\s+(\w+)/g) { ... }`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
