for example:
input file record: aaabbb
invoicenum1customernum1333
lookup record:11111
invoicenum1customernum18888
newinvoicenum1
so now original input record becomes:
aaabbb
invoicenum1customernum1333
newinvoicenum1
i have to use hash array here in perl with keys as invoice and customer number combination, but me not sure how to use it
..
please help me out in solving this...
