Hi,
Hello,
How do I compare the column 1 in %hash2, with column 1 in %hash1 so that when a match is found to append or concatenate the hash key (column 1) and it's associated values from %hash2 with that of %hash1 and build a new hash %hash3 as the end result. %hash1 emcpowera sdbd sddg sdfj sdhm emcpoweraa sdae sdch sdek sdgn emcpowerbc sdb sdbe sddh sdfk emcpowerc sdbb sdde sdfh sdhk emcpowerd sdba sddd sdfg sdhj %hash2 emcpowera1 /dwpdb006 emcpoweraa1 /dwpdb033 emcpowerbc1 /s00_11 emcpowerbc2 /utl_file_dir emcpowerc1 /odsdb006 emcpowerd1 /odsdb005 This is what the end result should look like: %hash3 emcpowera sdbd sddg sdfj sdhm emcpowera1 /dwpdb006 emcpoweraa sdae sdch sdek sdgn emcpoweraa1 /dwpdb033 emcpowerbc sdb sdbe sddh sdfk emcpowerbc1 /s00_11 sdba sddd sdfg sdhj emcpowerbc2 /utl_file_dir
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Why is this list
emcpowerc sdbb sdde sdfh sdhk emcpowerc1 /odsdb006 emcpowerd sdba sddd sdfg sdhj emcpowerd1 /odsdb005
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the same as this list?
emcpowerz sdbg sddv sdfd sdht
