I have the following data in @return from my @return = `command \\\\$Server\\$user`; I would like to put it in a hash.
So the first line would be $hash{User_Name} = userid
How would I go about doing this? I have tried this, but not all the key names are built the same (some with spaces others without)...
foreach (@return) { chomp; my @t = split; print "\n++$t[0] == $_[-1]"; }
In this case you appear to have fixed width data which is oh so fun compared to delimited data, you can generally parse it fairly easily with 'unpack'.
perldoc -f pack
I also need to get the group memberships at the bottom all into one hash key each ( ie Global = "*GroupA *GroupB *GroupC"
In this case you are going to have to be a little more crafty, generally you can have a check to see if you are currently parsing a key that has multiple values, in which case you parse until you hit the next key, or hit a line that doesn't start with white space (since all of the keys should be left aligned). I suspect your multiple value keys will also all start at a specific location, which means you could just check for a value at that location on each pass.

Thanks!
What have you tried, where did you fail? Hints will be provided but this isn't a free script service........
