Do you perhaps mean: my %files = (); $files{'23_59_54_20_08_2002'} = [20, 40, 60]; $files{'23_59_55_20_08_2002'} = [30, 20, 45]; Or are there multiple lines in each file, in which case you could use $files{'23_59_54_20_08_2002'} = [[20, 40, 60], [70, 80, 90]]; You also may want to turn around your filename, so the year comes first, especially when you want to sort (e.g. to iterate from old to new). -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
