Hi, I would like to load a file to a hash so I will be able to call a specific number in that hash:
use strict; use warnings; my %hash = (); open IN, "< $ARGV[0]" || die "could not open $ARGV[0]\n"; my $cnt = "0"; while (<IN>) { chomp; %hash = ( $cnt => $_ ); $cnt++; } print $hash{"837"}; This works fine with the last line only! how do I append to my hash? and secondly: here I use a counter to get a specific "line" in the hash - does a hash have a "build in" counter to refer to?
