I tried as suggested but cant get your new script to work on my text file. Please advise what Iam doing wrong.
Thanks.
my $db = 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\test4.txt';
open(DATA, "$db") || die "Can not open: $!\n";
my @dat = (<DATA>);
close(DATA);
open(DATA, "$db") || die "NO GO: $!\n";
my %seen;
while (<DATA>){
my ($value,$key) = $_ =~ /^([^\|]+)\|(.*)/;
my ($key,$value) = split(/\|/,$_,2);
next if $seen{$value};
print "$key: $value\n";
push(@files,$key);
my @files = (<DATA>);
print DATA @files;
$seen{$value}++;
}
close(DATA);

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
