Hi all,
I am trying to compare two arrays for a macro building system. I need to
start with the longest longest element from array 1 (the macros) and then
compare it to all elements in array 2. If a match is found, I replace the
match with '#0#' (replacing the number with the matching array element
number).
Is there a simple way to cycle through the macro array by length of the
element values WITHOUT permanently reordering the array?
Below is an example of my macro array and comparison code BEFORE I have
attempted to do it by length of macro array element. My thought on how to
do this would be:
1. loop through the macro array to find the longest element
2. do my replacement work on array #2
3. loop again on array #1 to find the next longest element
4. do next replacement work on #2
etc....
Perhaps a better idea would be to create a new array that simply lists the
order I should use for iteration.
Once done, I am going to do something similar on the macros themselves to
collapse similar strings in macro URL's.
Is there a better way to go about this? I'm sure there must be.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF MACRO ARRAY CONTENTS:
macros[0]{'u'}=http://
macros[1]{'u'}=http://www.domain.com/
macros[2]{'u'}=http://www.domain.com/home/
macros[3]{'u'}=alias=/
macros[4]{'u'}=alias=/external/
macros[5]{'u'}=alias=/alias/
macros[6]{'u'}=http://www.domain.com/bd.redir?redir=
...
sub fURL {
for $i ( 0 .. $#$menu ) {
for $x ( 0 .. $#macros ) {
if($$menu[$i]{'u'}) {$$menu[$i]{'u'} =~
s/$macros[$x]{$x}/#$x#/g }
}
}
}
