( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Why did you have to change my example/question? Using an array? Can't figuire it out the correct way, no?

Because using a hash is wasteful when you don't need it. You were storing the 'friends' in a hash keyed on the line number, which is unnecessary, since you can achieve the same thing more efficiently using an array.

Like you said, you're using a rather large file. Hashes take up more memory than arrays, which can be quite costly when you're dealing with big files (When you deal with 100 MB logfiles, you learn these things).

So in all honesty, no, yours was not the correct way.

You thought it looked like textbook examples, thanks.

I'm not sure how that would be considered a compliment, but okay. You're welcome.

Anyway Doogie, show me how you would do it my way.

1. Is 'Doogie' another insult? (I really don't know what it means)
2. I did show you. Use split /\s*,\s*/ instead of split /,/

And if your line looks like mine, no problem I'm glad u learned something.

Do you actually want me to help you? If so, antagonizing people doesn't help.

If you don't want me to help you, feel free to say so. I have enough things to do.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
