I'm reading in lines of text, and extracting the relevant parts of it. These relevant parts are then being pushed onto an array. My trouble is that these parts are a maximum of 24 unique names. However, when pushed onto the array, there is no mechanism for comparison where the repeated names are skipped. I'm not sure how to do it. Here's the code I have:
while (<STATS>) { if ($_ =~ /\[($team)\] ($player)/) { if ($1 eq "SAN") { push (@SAN, $2); #unless ($2 eq $SAN[i]) #I need a foreach loop here #that will give the unless a $SAN[i] to compare #against the $2, I'm just not sure how to write it. } elsif ($1 eq "PHX") { push (@PHX, $2); } print "$1\t"; print "$2\n"; } } foreach (@SAN) { print "Spur roster: $_\n"; } In the end, I want @SAN to have all the unique names within the file.
