Hello, I have three files, for two different cites. The first file contains names of men with their faves, in columns. The second file is the same but for their partner. The third file is a list of similar partners (partner selection based on data fed into a perl script):
FILE_1 and FILE_2 column headings: NAMEtabAGEtabFAVE MOVIEtabFAVE ACTOR(IN THAT MOVIE)tabCHOICE OF NICK NAME(FOR THAT ACTOR)tabGUESS LENGTH OF ACTING CAREER(STARTtabEND)tabFAVE HOL DESTN. FILE_1 data: DAVEtab36tabBATMANtabJ.NICKELSONtabWALL FILLER FACEtab38tab2003tabIBIZA FILE_2 data: JOtab28tabGIJANEtabD.MOOREtabTRACEYtab89tab2003tabIBIZA FILE_3 data: DAVEtabJO EG. OF TYPE OF DATA I INTEND TO EXTRACT: for each set of partners i am trying count the number of times the holiday desnn. is the same and different; for each person in file 1, how many times does the seclected partner choose the same actor, and then find the averaage length of career. The problem I have is since I am not well versed with perl, which data structure do I use, I am not finding this easy. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE? ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED.
