Name ABC AGE 25 Book perl Name DEF AGE 20 Book linux Name GHI AGE 21 Book PHP .................
can anyone help me on how to store the data with hash key as the 'Name' and the hash strings as the details of 'AGE' and 'Book' Hello,I think you could do it as following: my %hash = ( 'ABC' => { 'AGE' => 25, 'Book' => 'perl', }, 'DEF' => { 'AGE' => 20, 'Book' => 'linux', }, ); Then,you could access the final value,for example the 'perl',with this syntax: print $hash{'ABC'}->{'Book'}; if you want to access all the value of 'ABC',you can do: print $_," ",$hash{'ABC'}->{$_},"\n" for (keys %{$hash{'ABC'}}); Hope that helps. -- Jeff Pang NetEase AntiSpam Team http://corp.netease.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
