Hi,

I need some ideas because I'm just trying and error programming.

I have some .dat files that come in this format (call this file dat.dat):

#
# Field1 description of Field1
# Field2 description of Field2
# Field3 description of Field3
# Field4 description of Field4
# Field5 description of Field5
#
"Field1" "Field2" "Field3" "Field4" "Field5"
"Field1" "Field2" "Field3" "Field4" "Field5"
"Field1" "Field2" "Field3" "Field4" "Field5"
"Field1" "Field2" "Field3" "Field4" "Field5"
"Field1" "Field2" "Field3" "Field4" "Field5"

And I have another two files, one a csv file with this format (call this file 
csv.txt):

Description Field1a, Description Field2a
Field1a, Field2
Field1a, Field2
Field1a, Field2
Field1a, Field2

And another one that just contains (call this file pc.txt);

Field2
Field2
Field2
Field2

What I need to do is search for each field that appears in pc.txt, if this field doen't exists in the dat.dat file, then I need to delete the row in csv.txt that contains Field2.

To search this I have this:


sub openReadFiles { sysopen(PCERROR, "$dir/$pointcodeError", O_RDONLY) or die "Cannot open file $pointcodeError for reading!\n"; @pcError = <PCERROR>; chomp(@pcError);


sub openWriteFiles { sysopen(PCCSV, "$dir/$ss7SigGroupPointcode", O_RDWR) or die "Cannot open file $ss7SigGroupPointcode for read/write!\n"; @pcCsv = <PCCSV>; chomp(@pcCsv); }

sub ParseData {
    @out = @_;
    for (@out) {
    s/^\s+//g;
    s/\s+$//g;
    s/\s+/ /g;
#    s/\d+,//g;
#    s/\d+'//g;
    }
    return wantarray ? @out : $out[0];
}

sub closeAll {
   close(PCERROR);
   close(SS7NODE);
}


sysopen(SS7NODE, "$dir/$ss7Node", O_RDONLY)
or die "Cannor open file $ss7Node for reading!\n";
openReadFiles();
while (<SS7NODE>) {
(($nodeId, $name, $nodeSetId, $pointCodeId, $nodeType, $desc, $monitored) = split(' ')) if ($_ !~ /^#/); #This is to not consider the # at the begining of the .dat file
foreach $pcError (@pcError) {


        print ("\t\t$name\n");
}
closeAll();

But I don't know how to do it to test for the Field2 and delete this field from 
csv file

Hope somebody can help me. I think I just need some guides or examples to see 
how this kind of things could be achieved.

Thanks in advance
