Re: perl array of hashes help

Hi,
First of all it will make it easier to understand your question if you put the code in code tags like below:

@array1 = ( { 'url' => 'wp-content/uploads/2012/04/HB-177-Veto-Letter.
+pdf' , 'bill' => 'CS3', 'HB', '177', 'Inmate Reentry', 'Porth', '3/9/
+12', '3/30/12', 'VETO' }, { 'url' => 'uploads/2012/03/3.29.12-Transmi
+ttal-Letter-3.pdf' , 'bill' => 'CS1', 'HB', '697', ' School Board of 
+Sumter County', 'McBurney', '3/9/12', '3/16/12', 'VETO' }, { 'url' =>
+ 'tent/uploads/2012/04/HB-865-Veto-Letter.pdf' , 'bill' => '', 'HB', 
+'865', 'Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, Pinellas County', 'Hoope
+r', '3/9/12', '3/30/12', 'VETO' }, { 'url' => 't/uploads/2012/04/4.13
+.12-HB-917-Veto-Letter.pdf' , 'bill' => '', 'HB', '917', 'Jurisdictio
+n of the Courts', 'Bileca', '3/7/12', '3/30/12', 'VETO' }, { 'url' =>
+ 's/2012/04/HB-1117-Veto-Letter.pdf' , 'bill' => 'CS1', 'HB', '1117',
+ 'Conservation of Wildlife', 'Harrison', '3/9/12', '3/30/12', 'VETO' 
+} );

To answer your question, I'm assuming there are also other solutions, but doing a loop is a very easy and simple solution that you should take into account:

for my $line_hash (@array1){
    if ($line_hash->{'bill'} =~ /1117/){
       print "Found a match";
    }
}

mrguy123: Not to nitpick or anything, but the example you gave for code tags belies the suggestion you made. In fact, when you reformatted it, you removed the brackets, invalidating the changes. I would suggest something more like: @array1 = ( { 'url' => [ 'wp-content/uploads/2012/04/HB-177-Veto-Letter.pdf' ], 'bill' => [ 'CS3', 'HB', '177', 'Inmate Reentry', 'Porth', '3/9/12', '3/30/1 +2', 'VETO' ] }, { 'url' => [ 'uploads/2012/03/3.29.12-Transmittal-Letter-3.pdf' ], 'bill' => [ 'CS1', 'HB', '697', ' School Board of Sumter County', 'McBurney' +, '3/9/12', '3/16/12', 'VETO' ] }, { 'url' => [ 'tent/uploads/2012/04/HB-865-Veto-Letter.pdf' ], 'bill' => [ '', 'HB', '865', 'Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, Pinellas +County', 'Hooper', '3/9/12', '3/30/12', 'VETO' ] }, . . . ); [download] ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Thanks for the advice My example was mainly on how to use the code tags, but it makes sense to display the hash array in a more readable fashion a truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent	[reply]
