Hi,
I'm going to take this from here, rather than go on to the full code, because I think
I see the core of the problem here. The foreach just isn't going to do it for what
you want, although you maight call it on one of the hashes. You don't really indicate
whether there is supposed to be any meaningful parallelism across columns, and on that
factor rests the distinction in strategy.
If the columns do have some one-to-one relationship between lines, you would want to
foreach one of the hashes, then reference the corresponding element of the other. If
there is no relationship across columns, then you have three jobs to do:
1) Get %TARGET into an array of preformatted strings, keeping count of the number of
strings produced.
1) Get %PROD into an array of preformatted strings, keeping count of the number of
strings produced.
2) For the legth of the shorter array, output an element from one array then the other
on each line.
3) For the remaining length of the longer array format your output to compensate for
the missing column.
You note that I specified three jobs, but you see four items above. The first two
should work very well with a properly parameterized sub.
