Hi Monks,
I am newbie to perl and i am stuck at some point where i wanted to sort a datastructure as shown below , its basically an array of hashes and i am clueless how to sort it. I need testcase1, 2 and 3 and so on in an order and
i need the 'step' to be listed from step1 to stepN in increasing order and i also need to sort the values within each step if the parameters are similar to what is listed under step4, i need them in order from param1 to param4.. Can anyone help me in solving this.
my @array = (
'testcase1' => {
'step2' => {
'command' => 'Goto'
},
'step1' => {
'param2' => 'dirpath',
'param1' => 'executablepath',
'command' => 'Launch '
},
'step4' => {
'param4' => '580',
'param2' => '96',
'param3' => '726',
'param1' => '3',
'command' => 'CaptureRectanlge'
},
'step5' => {
'image1' => 'D:\\\\img1.jpg',
'image2' => 'D:\\\\img2.jpg ',
'command' => 'CompareImage'
},
'step3' => {
'param1' => '100',
'command' => 'Run'
}
},
'testcase2' => {
'step2' => {
'command' => 'Goto'
},
'step1' => {
'param2' => 'dirpath',
'param1' => 'executablepath',
'command' => 'Launchsimulator '
},
'step4' => {
'param4' => '580',
'param2' => '96',
'param3' => '726',
'param1' => '3',
'command' => 'CaptureRectanlge'
},
'step5' => {
'image1' => 'D:\\\\img1.jpg',
'image2' => 'D:\\\\img2.jpg ',
'command' => 'CompareImage'
},
'step3' => {
'param1' => '100',
'command' => 'Run'
}
},
'testcase3' => {
'command6' => 'F',
'commandA' => 'J',
'command8' => 'H',
'command7' => 'G',
'command9' => 'I'
}
