I have an array which contains the entries below - the output was generated with the following loop: for $r ( 0 .. $#allfilesystems ) { for $c ( 0 .. $#{ $allfilesystems[$r] } ) { print "elt $r $c is $allfilesystems[$r][$c]\n"; } print"\n"; } OUTPUT: elt 0 0 is sd elt 0 1 is appsdg_CA-01 elt 0 2 is dmdcapps_archive-01 elt 0 3 is appsdg_CA elt 0 4 is HDS99600_18
elt 1 0 is sd elt 1 1 is appsdg_CB-01 elt 1 2 is dmdcapps_archive-01 elt 1 3 is appsdg_CB elt 1 4 is HDS99600_17 elt 29 0 is sd elt 29 1 is oradg_C9-09 elt 29 2 is roll02-01 elt 29 3 is oradg_C9 elt 29 4 is HDS99600_19 elt 30 0 is sd elt 30 1 is oradg_C9-10 elt 30 2 is arch01-01 elt 30 3 is oradg_C9 elt 30 4 is HDS99600_19 What I need to do is to compare the user input with each of the entries in my array. For instance, if the user enters roll02 - the whole row containing roll02 must be printed. yanet@myhost#getinfo.pl roll02 Filesystem Information: Disk_Type: sd Disk_Name: oradg_C9-09 Plex_Name: roll02-01 Disk_VolName: oradg_C9 Device_Number: HDS99600_19 The above is the ideal output. However, I have had trouble comparing my user output with each of the elements of my array. The following was attempted but, it doesn't work: for $r ( 0 .. $#allfilesystems ) { for $c ( 0 .. $#{ $allfilesystems[$r] } ) { print "$allfilesystems[$r][$c]\n" if $allfilesystems[$r][$c] =~ /$userinput/i; } print"\n"; } OUTPUT: Use of uninitialized value at ./vxprint2.pl line 29. sd Use of uninitialized value at ./vxprint2.pl line 29. oradg_C9-10 Use of uninitialized value at ./vxprint2.pl line 29. arch01-01 Use of uninitialized value at ./vxprint2.pl line 29. oradg_C9 Use of uninitialized value at ./vxprint2.pl line 29. HDS99600_19 I know that the above is supposed to print only the entry, WHICH CONTAINS THE USER INPUT but I want all the entries in the corresponding row. How may accomplish this?? My attempt is not even doing the minimum. Any suggestions??? Thank you!!! Yanet -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
