perl hash of arrays - arrays

I am trying to access elements of an array which is part of a hash.
for my $idx ( 0 .. $#vss ) {
push (#{$vsnhash->{$vss[$idx]}}, $vsports[$idx]);
}
print Dumper(\%$vsnhash);
($VAR1 = {
'name2' => [
'8001',
'8002'
],
'name1' => [
'8000'
]
};
I an able to access the keys with a foreach loop:
foreach my $key ( keys %$vsnhash ) {
print "$key\n";
}
How do I access the array of port numbers ('8001' , '8002') within the hash?
Thank you for the help!

while (my ($k, $v) = each %$vsnhash) {
print "$k: #$v\n";
}

foreach my $key ( keys %$vsnhash ) {
print "$key\n";
foreach my $port (#{$vsnhash->{key}}){
print "Port $port\n";
}
}

$vsnhash{name2}->[0]; #8001
$vsnhash{name2}->[1]; #8002
$vsnhash{name1}->[0]; #8000
Code wise:
foreach my $key (sort keys %vsnhash) {
foreach my $index (0..$#{$key}) {
print "\$vsnhash{$key}->[$index] = " . $vsnhash{$key}->[$index] . "\n";
}
}
The $#{$key} means the last entry in the array #{$key}. Remember that $key is a reference to an array while #{$key} is the array itself.

Clean way to access a nested data structure

I have a segment of code that, although it works, does not look like a clean way to do things.
I build the structure using:
foreach my $n (#node_list)
{
chomp ($n);
foreach my $c (#cpes)
{
my #returned; #Interfaces to CPEs with MED settings
my #creturned; #General Customer Interfaces
my ($cust) = $c =~ /([a-zA-Z]+)[_-][a-zA-Z0-9]+/s;
print "\n\t\tCustomer is $cust\n";
chomp($c);
$c = uc $c;
my ($search) = $c;
(#returned) = `cat /curr/$n | grep "$search"`;
if (#returned)
{
my $cust_match = 'interface \"' . $cust;
(#creturned) = `cat /curr/$n | egrep -i "$cust_match" | grep -v "$search"`;
}
if (#creturned) #Have we found other CPEs on the same router
{
my ($nf) = $n =~ /([a-zA-Z0-9-]+).cfg/s;
my (#interfaces) = map { /([A-Z0-9_]+)/s } #creturned;
#interfaces = uniq(#interfaces);
unshift (#interfaces, $c);
push (#new_out, {$nf => {$cust => [#interfaces]}});
}
}
This will return:
$VAR1 = [
{
'router-xx-xx' => {
'50000' => [
[
'THXXXXVF_NLXXXX40_1121_2',
'10x.xx.x.50'
],
[
'THXXXPVF_NLXXXX66_1121_1',
'10x.xx.x.70'
],
[
'THXXXXVF_NLXXXX67_1121_2',
'10x.xx.x.78'
],
}
},
Each router can have a number of VPRNs and each VPRN can contain multiple interfaces. In the example above I've shown one router with one VPRN.
However, when it comes to accessing elements in the above, I've written the following convoluted (but working) code:
foreach my $candidate (#nodes)
{
my %node = %{ $candidate };
foreach my $n (keys %node)
{
print "\nRouter is $n\n";
foreach my $cust (keys %{ $node{$n} })
{
print "Customer on $n is \n" . Dumper $cust;
my #intlist = #{$node{$n}{$cust}};
my $med_cpe = $intlist[0]; #the CPE that was used to find node
{truncated}
}
}
}
}
You don't explain exactly what you find "convoluted" about the traversal code, but you have made it unnecessarily complex by duplicating data into #intlist and %node. The excessive and inconsistent indentation also makes it ungainly
I would write something closer to this
for my $node ( #nodes ) {
for my $n ( keys %$node ) {
print "\nRouter is $n\n";
for my $cust ( keys %{ $node->{$n} } ) {
print "Customer on $n is \n" . Dumper \$cust;
my $med_cpe = $node->{$n}{$cust}[0];
}
}
}
If you don't need the values of $node and $n except to access $med_cpe then you don't need a nested data structure at all: a simple array is fine. On the face of it, an array like this will do what you need
[
[
'router-xx-xx',
'50000',
'THXXXXVF_NLXXXX40_1121_2',
'10x.xx.x.50',
],
[
'router-xx-xx',
'50000',
'THXXXPVF_NLXXXX66_1121_1',
'10x.xx.x.70',
],
...
]

Perl multi hash from list

I have a list with some values which are connected. I need to create a hashmap with keys and values from the list and merge together. But i don't really know how to do it.
Input:
my #in =(
'mgenv/1_2_3/parent.dx_environment',
'mgenv/1_2_3/doc/types.dat');
Expected output:
"{ $env => { $ver => [ $file1, $file2, ... ] } }"
I've tried these:
(1)
my #sack_files = (
'mgenv/1_2_3/parent.dx_environment',
'mgenv/1_2_3/doc/types.dat');
my $sack_tree = {};
my %hash=();
for( my $i=0; $i<scalar #sack_files; $i++){
my #array = split(/[\/]+/,$sack_files[$i]);
for(my $i=0;$i<(scalar #array)-1;$i++){
my $first = $array[$i];
my $second = $array[$i+1];
$hash{$first}=$second;
}
# merge
}
(2)
use Data::Dumper;
my #sack_files = (
'mgenv/1_2_3/parent.dx_environment',
'mgenv/1_2_3/doc/types.dat',
);
my $sack_tree = {};
my %hash=();
for( my $i=0; $i<scalar #sack_files; $i++){
my #array = split(/[\/]+/,$sack_files[$i]);
nest(\%hash,#array);
}
In the second case I get an error because when the loop variable i=1 ,the key/values already exists so maybe i have to check the previously added key/values. But I don't really know how.
I would really appreciate any ideas.
Just use push to add new members to an existing array in a hash of hashes. You have to dereference the array reference with #{ ... }.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my #sack_files = qw( mgenv/1_2_3/parent.dx_environment
mgenv/1_2_3/doc/types.dat
mgenv/1_2_3/doc/etc.dat
mgenv/4_5_6/parent.dx_environment
mgenv/4_5_6/doc/types.dat
u5env/1_2_3/parent.dx_environment
u5env/1_2_3/doc/types.dat
u5env/4_5_6/parent.dx_environment
u5env/4_5_6/doc/types.dat
);
my %hash;
for my $sack_file (#sack_files) {
my ($env, $ver, $file) = split m{/}, $sack_file, 3;
push #{ $hash{$env}{$ver} }, $file;
}
print Dumper \%hash;
output
$VAR1 = {
'mgenv' => {
'1_2_3' => [
'parent.dx_environment',
'doc/types.dat',
'doc/etc.dat'
],
'4_5_6' => [
'parent.dx_environment',
'doc/types.dat'
]
},
'u5env' => {
'4_5_6' => [
'parent.dx_environment',
'doc/types.dat'
],
'1_2_3' => [
'parent.dx_environment',
'doc/types.dat'
]
}
};

perl hash with array

I did same hash like this:
my %tags_hash;
Then I iterate some map and add value into #tags_hash:
if (#tagslist) {
for (my $i = 0; $i <= $#tagslist; $i++) {
my %tag = %{$tagslist[$i]};
$tags_hash{$tag{'refid'}} = $tag{'name'};
}}
But I would like to have has with array, so when key exists then add value to array.
Something like this:
e.g. of iterations
1,
key = 1
value = "good"
{1:['good']}
2,
key = 1
value = "bad"
{1:['good', 'bad']}
3,
key = 2
value = "bad"
{1:['good', 'bad'], 2:['bad']}
And then I want to get array from the key:
print $tags_hash{'1'};
Returns: ['good', 'bad']
An extended example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $hash = {}; # hash ref
#populate hash
push #{ $hash->{1} }, 'good';
push #{ $hash->{1} }, 'bad';
push #{ $hash->{2} }, 'bad';
my #keys = keys %{ $hash }; # get hash keys
foreach my $key (#keys) { # crawl through hash
print "$key: ";
my #list = #{$hash->{$key}}; # get list associate within this key
foreach my $item (#list) { # iterate through items
print "$item ";
}
print "\n";
}
output:
1: good bad
2: bad
So the value of the hash element to be an array ref. Once you have that, all you need to do is push the value onto the array.
$hash{$key} //= [];
push #{ $hash{$key} }, $val;
Or the following:
push #{ $hash{$key} //= [] }, $val;
Or, thanks to autovivification, just the following:
push #{ $hash{$key} }, $val;
For example,
for (
[ 1, 'good' ],
[ 1, 'bad' ],
[ 2, 'bad' ],
) {
my ($key, $val) = #$_;
push #{ $hash{$key} }, $val;
}

PERL dynamically match arrays based on unique key

I'm trying to compare 2 huge arrays and want to use map. I am using unique key concept here to match the indexes.
My Arrays:
my #array1 = ( ['a','b','c','d'], ['e','f','g','h'], ['i','j','k','l'], ['m','n','o','p'], ['q','r','s','t']);
my #array2 = ( ['r','q','s','t'], ['b','a','c','d'], ['n','m','o','p'], ['f','e','g','h'], ['j','i','k','l']);
My unique Keys:
my #uk1 = (0,2,3);
my #uk2 = (1,2,3);
These arrays will be huge in size, over 30,000 indexes in each with over 20 elements in each index.
So effectively i create a map where
for ( my $j = 0; $j <= $#array1 ; $j++ )
{
my searchString;
for ( my $k = 0; $k <= $#uk1; $k++ )
{
if ( $k != 0 )
{
$searchString .= ","
}
$my searchString .= $array1[$j][$uk[$k];
}
my #result = map { $_ }
grep { join (",",$array2[$_][1],$array2[$_][2],$array2[$_][3]) ) =~ join(",",$array1[$j][0],$array1[$j][1],$array1[$j][2]) }
0 .. $#array;
}
returns matched indexes.
My problem is, how do i make this dependant on the unique keys? as the length of the unique key will keep changing and as far as i know i cannot dynamically create the $array2[$_] join part.
Hope my question is clear enough.
I want to have the logic that compares
$array1[$uk1[0]],$array1[$uk1[1]],$array1[$uk1[2]] and so on (depending on the number of keys in UK) with
$array2[$uk2[0]],$array2[$uk2[1]],$array2[$uk2[2]].......
Perhaps,
my #array1 = ( ['a','b','c','d'], ['e','f','g','h'], ['i','j','k','l'], ['m','n','o','p'], ['q','r','s','t']);
my #array2 = ( ['r','q','s','t'], ['b','a','c','d'], ['n','m','o','p'], ['f','e','g','h'], ['j','i','k','l']);
my #result;
for my $i (0 .. $#array1) {
push #result,
map { [$i, $_] }
grep {
"#{ $array1[$i] }[1,2,3]" eq "#{ $array2[$_] }[0,2,3]"
}
0 .. $#array2;
}
use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \#result;
output
$VAR1 = [
[
0,
1
],
[
1,
3
],
[
2,
4
],
[
3,
2
],
[
4,
0
]
];
What you want to use is an array slice:
But lets also make life easier:
for my $sample ( #array1 )
{
my $test= join(",", #$sample[#uk1]) ;
my #result = grep { $_ eq $test } map { join(",", #$_[#uk2] ) } #array2 ;
say "huzzah" if #result ;
}
Perl lets you specify multiple elements from an array via the "array slice":
my #list= ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd') ;
my #pieces= #list[1,3] ;

Iterate through a hash and an array in Perl

I have an array and a hash:
#arraycodons = "AATG", "AAAA", "TTGC"... etc.
%hashdictionary = ("AATG" => "A", "AAAA" => "B"... etc.)
I need to translate each element of the array for the corresponding value in hashdictionary. However, I obtain a wrong translation.....
To see the problem, I have printed $codon (each element of the array), but each codon is repeated several times..... and It shouldn't.
sub translation() {
foreach $codon (#arraycodons) {
foreach $k (keys %hashdictionary) {
if ($codon == $k) {
$v = $hashdictionary{$k};
print $codon;
}
}
}
}
I don't know if I've explained my problem well enough, but I can't go on with my code if this doesn't work...
Many thanks in advance.
You appear to be looping through the keys of your hash (also known as a "dictionary") to find your desired key. This defeats the purpose of a hash (also known as a "dictionary") - the primary advantage of which is ultra fast lookups of a key.
Try, instead of
foreach $codon (#arraycodons) {
foreach $k (keys %hashdictionary) {
if ($codon == $k) {
$v = $hashdictionary{$k};
print $codon;
}
}
}
this:
foreach $codon (#arraycodons) {
my $value = $hashdictionary{$codon};
print( "$codon => $value\n" );
}
or:
foreach my $key ( keys %hashdictionary ) {
my $value = $hashdictionary{$key};
print( "$key => $value\n" );
}
my #mappedcodons = map {$hashdictionary{$_}}
grep (defined $hashdictionary{$_},#arraycodons);
or
my #mappedcodons = grep ($_ ne "", map{$hashdictionary{$_} || ""} #arraycodons);
my #words = ("car", "house", "world");
my %dictionary = ("car" => "el coche", "house" => "la casa", "world" => "el mundo");
my #keys = keys %dictionary;
foreach(#words) {
my $word = $_;
foreach(#keys) {
if($_ eq $word) { # eq, not ==
my $translation = $dictionary{$_};
print "The Spanish translation of $word is $translation\n";
}
}
}
