Hi all,
I'm trying to read in two file sets of library records, compare a regex
that I find in different lines of each set of records, and then copy one
whole line over to the other when a match is found.
?
To do this, I am trying to use a 3-dimensional array:
[fileset][record][line]
I think that I am reading and pushing the arrays onto the other arrays
correctly, but when I'm traversing the arrays to do the conditionals, I am
getting uninitialized value warnings, which seems like I'm either not
traversing correctly OR I'm not really pushing the data onto the arrays
properly.
This is my whole script below. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tim
Hi Tim
It would be helpful if you could post about 15 lines from each file so we
could see what kind of data you're parsing.
Also, how many lines in the diss.flat file could have a field value of .001?
Are there more than 1?
Same thing for ludiss.flat. In addition, is there more than 1 line with a
field of ..856?
Reading your code, it seems you bail out after finding the (fisrt?) match
but if there are more lines with these values , what about them?
Perhaps if you tried to explain what you are trying to do again , then a
solution could be found.
I found a problem with your arrays, but even before you start thinking about
what kind of data structure you want to use here, a clearer idea of whats in
the file and how you want to process it could precede your choice of arrays
(or perhaps a hash).
