Hi Guys,

I have an array in which each element is a line commandline data.  It looks
something like this -

@Array contains lines:

post1: -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] -x cat-100 -h post1
post2: -x tel -h post2
post3: -h post3 -x hifi

And so on.  The order of the options varies, and there may or may not be a 
-r $arg on the line.

These lines are parsed from a file with more lines, of which I extracted all
the lines with -h:

open (F, "<$File");

while (<F>) {
   if ($_ =~ / -h /) {
      # remove crud
      s/ \"\|//;
      s/\/some\/crud\/path argument //;
      s/\"$//;
      # store what's left
      push @Array, $_;
   }
}

What I really need to do is build a relationship between the first field 
(which is the same as the argument to -h) and the argument to -x.  The -x flag
can be dropped, as they're not needed.

So it looks like I need to build a hash based. 

But I can't can't grok how to parse each line out to do what I need, then
move on to the next line (all lines are unrelated to each other).

I've been using shift, but then I'm doing something like, (psuedo code):

if ($_[0] eq "-r") { $r = (shift);}

but if sub 0 doesn't eq -r, and I shift until I get to -x, say, and use that
for the $x = (shift), how can I be efficient to check again for -r, which I
still haven't found?

Is this making any sense?

Thanks,

deb
