Extracting information from file to Hashby hok_si_la (Curate) |
on Jan 18, 2012 at 21:31 UTC ( #948626=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
hok_si_la has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Good localtime friends, Given a large 1000+ line file with the following format (flexible here): What would be the best way to extract all the information into a hash so that I can can perform sorts based on Collection, Status, and Modified? Some caveats: 1)Collection would be the db equivalent of an unique id. 2)I cannot use a database or non-core modules. 3)I will dynamically build web pages displaying collection information on a table row based upon a timeframe a user requests, so I will have to play with dates a bit. 4)The creation of the file containing the format about is done in the background, so anything I can do to speed up fetching/sorting specific to file format etc would be worth considering. Thanks for your advice, hok
