Search Results

Thanks, unfortunately what's happening when I implement that script with an else statement that prints "no key found for value" is, if the value is the third in the hash, for example:

no key found...

Update, I made it through this by using:


if (exists $hash{$input}) {
print "This is equal to $hash{$input}\n";
}
else {
print "Not in hash\n";
...

My hash, for example, looks like this

One 1
Two 2
Three 3


The user is prompted to enter in a word:

my $input = <STDIN>;
chomp $input;

I first wanted to use this if equals, but not...

print $hash{$value} if exists $hash{$key};

would only print my top value, and not the one I want to "match".... should i not be using if exists? how would you recommend "searching" a hash...

Great, thanks. I'll need to look into how and why this works. But it did.

Playing with an until loop as follows:

my $input;

until ($input eq "quit") {
print "Please enter something:";
$input = <STDIN>;
chomp $input;
if ($input eq "dog") {
print "cat" ;
}
else...
