This should get you started. You don't mention how you are collecting you
inital data. Do you run a command several times with different args? Does
that command return all results in one hit or are you reading the data from
a text file??
Anyway, this will split the data you have into a hash. How to do an array of
hashes depends on the above
---
@data = ("object manager name: snmpCollect",
"state: RUNNING",
"PID: 463",
"last message: Initialization complete.",
"exit status: -");
# $command_to_run = "command";
# @data = `$command_to_run`;
# Uncomment and use the above to pull the data from your command
# Go through the data you've collected and split into a hash.
foreach (@data) {
chomp;
($key, $value) = split /:\s+/;
$hash{$key} = $value;
}
# Print out your hash
foreach $key (sort keys %hash) {
print "$key => $hash{$key}\n";
}

Subject: Trying to create array of hashes
Hello,
I'm trying to capture the output from a command a slice and dice it into an
array of hashes. The data looks like this:
object manager name: snmpCollect
state: RUNNING
PID: 463
last message: Initialization complete.
exit status: -
object manager name: ovrequestd
state: RUNNING
PID: 156
last message: Initialization complete.
exit status: -
Each service section is divided by a newline, and each pair is colon
seperated. I've tried split, but all I ever get is all the out put crammed
into one scalar. I'd post some code, but so far its been too pityful! Any
clue would be helpfull.
Thanks,
Bradley
