I made some changes. Now I get an error message.
The message says "Can't use string ("") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use"
Here is the code as it stands now, with changes.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use diagnostics -verbose;
print "Enter the Part Number you wish to search for: ";
my $part = <STDIN>;
chomp($part);
print "Enter the Revison for ($part): ";
my $rev = <STDIN>;
chomp($rev);
my $searchresult = &search(part => $part, rev => $rev);
if (defined $searchresult) {
print "Located Part Number $part: $$searchresult[1..7]\n";
}else {
print "Your Part Number ($part) Rev ($rev) could not be found...\n";
}
# This routine will accept a part number as an anonymous
# hash, and search thru a text file returning the entire
# record (pipe delineated) of the 1st occurence
sub search {
my %args = @_;
my $retval;
local *FH;
open (FH, './fai.txt') || die "Cannot open file: ($!)";
my @records = <FH>;
chomp (@records);
foreach my $line (@records){
my @fields = split(/\|/, $line);
if ($args{part} eq $fields[0] && $args{rev} eq $fields[1]){
$retval = \@fields;
last;
close FH;
return \@fields;
}
}
}
