If this is my input:
Happy Cat Male
Evil Snake Female
Patches Dog Male
Bubbles Fish Female
Harley dog Female
Goldy Fish Male
What do I do so that the Name is the key and the Species and Gender together
are the value?
while (<>) {
chomp;
%chars = split(' ', $_);
$chars{$char} = $ch;
}
This is what I have so far but of course it only will read the first two
things in each line.
I also found this bit of code - but it makes the gender the key and I want
the name to be the key.
@raw = split (" ", $_);
if ($#raw == 1) {
$names{$raw[1]} = $raw[0];
} else {
$pn = " ";
for ($i = 0; $i < $#raw; $i++) {
$pn .= $raw [$i] . " ";
}
$names($raw[$#raw]} = $pn;
}
}
Thanks,
Terri Harrison
