Y'all,
I'm new to programming in perl, and relatively new to programming at all, so
I apologize if this is a little hard to follow.
I've got oodles of data. It looks like this:
0 @F1@ FAM
1 HUSB @I13@
1 WIFE @I14@
1 CHIL @I8@
0 @F2@ FAM
1 HUSB @I10@
1 WIFE @I8@
1 CHIL @I11@
1 CHIL @I12@
etc.
The first numeric portion (either 0 or 1) is irrelevant, the second portion
either a family number (@F1@, @F2@, etc.) OR relationship (HUSB, WIFE, or
CHIL), and the third portion is an ID number (@I13@, @I14@, @I8@, etc.).
What I need to do is create a series of unnamed arrays and reference them
hash elements. In other words, I need to do the equivalent to this:
$individuals{"F1"}[0] = "I13";
$individuals{"F1"}[1] = "I14";
$individuals{"F1")[2] = "I8";
$individuals{"F2")[0] = "I10";
$individuals{"F2")[1] = "I8";
$individuals{"F2")[2] = "I11";
$individuals{"F2")[3] = "I12";
I'm familiar with substr, split, m//, s///, etc.; I'm just not sure how to
programmatically create the data structure. Any help or suggestions to
point me in a direction would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Doug Cacialli
