It's been a while since I've used Perl and I need some help with a
multidimensional array.
I have a file that I need to compile some stats on.
I need to keep track of 'actions' and 'rules'. Yes, stats from a
firewall.
Both 'actions' and 'rules' need to be dynamic so if a rule is added,
it's automatically dealt with.
As I loop through the file I have both the current action and rule as a
variable.
I've tried to store them several ways...
my @actionrule;
$actionrule[$action][$rule]++;
In order for this to work as you expect, $action and $rule need to be
numeric. Is that the case? If not, do you need to preserve the order?
I need some kind of loop to extract the data. I also need to know what
the action and rule of each count is.
I've tried a few while and foreach loops without success.
Within the loop I need to build a query (per record).
$query="insert into tmpfw set action=$action, rule=$rule, count=$count";
foreach $first (@actionrule){
foreach(@first){
print $_."\n";
}
}
You need to add 'use strict;' at the top of your program. Not only
will that help you see if you've made a typo, it will help us be able
to debug your program better. Also read this:
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlreftut.html>
for my $rule (@actionrule) {
for my $i (@$rule) {
# do stuff
}
}
Not only does it not print the counts, but how do I get the action and
rule associated with it?
Thanks,
Mike
