I'm having trouble trying to add some values. I have a data file that consists of part numbers and quantities. I open that file, load the data file into an array. My problem is that my data file has been created by a process I cannot control, so that many times the data file will show the same part number but with a different quantity.
I need to add all of the quantities that are shown with the same part number. Here is some sample code and the data file ... Any help is appreciated, ~ #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; open(INF,"expr3.dat") or print "Can't open expr3.dat: $!"; @partandqty = <INF>; close(INF); foreach $partandqty (@partandqty) { ($partnum,$qty) = split(/_/, $partandqty); print "$partnum ** $qty<br>"; ###### IF THE PARTNUM IS THE SAME - ADD THE QUANTITIES OF THE SAME PARTNUM ### } +++ a8160_1234 a8161_5678 a8162_9876 a8163_4321 a8164_8765 a8165_3000 a8165_1800 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
