Verified two sources of input,

hopefully it should work properly now! Smilie

Give it a shot!

Sorry for not being up to the point in the beginning itself!

Its working fine but got one problem. I think I mentioned it on the thread that it's looking for a file pattern not the exact word. Please see below:

File1
AAABB370 MI_AP MI_RC MI_REC_DUP VIEW
AAABB371 VIEW
AAABB372 MI_UNIT VIEW
AAABB373 REQUEST APPROVE INQUIRE
AAABB374 REQUEST APPROVE MI_AP MI_RC MI_REC VIEW

File2
role1 MI_RC MI_REC
role2 MI_AP MI_REC
role3 VIEW
role4 VIEW MI_UNIT
role5 REQUEST APPROVE INQUIRE
role6 REQUEST

Code Output:
AAABB370 role1 role3 role2
AAABB371 role3
AAABB372 role3 role4
AAABB373 role6 role5
AAABB374 role1 role3 role6 role2

Needed Output:
AAABB370 role3 role2
AAABB371 role3
AAABB372 role3 role4
AAABB373 role6 role5
AAABB374 role3 role6 role2

I couldnt understand the statements really!


So, the difference is in these two,
Code:
AAABB370 role1 role3 role2
AAABB374 role1 role3 role6 role2

And if you could see that,

when you say the needed output should be
AAABB370 role3 role2

and not AAABB370 role1 role2 role3

... how is role2 matched with AAABB370 then ? ....

' role2 ' should not be displayed with AAABB370 as per your statement.

Either of the case pattern is matched MI_REC_DUP is matched with MI_REC with role2

T
Sorry, If I havent understood it correctly!

I believe am getting the output as you had said before.


If not clear, please post with clarifications ! Smilie

Opps!! sorry..

The output should be:
AAABB370 role3 (without the role2)
AAABB371 role3
AAABB372 role3 role4
AAABB373 role6 role5
AAABB374 role1 role2 role3 role6

For clarification:
AAABB370 cannot have role1 and role2 because his role is MI_REC_DUP and not MI_REC.

AAABB374 should have role1 and role2 because it has tha exact name of MI_REC.

Hope its clearer this time.. Smilie

This time its very clear! Smilie

Thats clearly my mistake

change the following line
from
Quote:
if( $first_arr[$j] =~ $second_arr[$i] ) {
messed up with the operator!

Code:
if( $first_arr[$j] eq $second_arr[$i] ) {

and here is the output!
Code:
AAABB370 role3
AAABB371 role3
AAABB372 role3 role4
AAABB373 role5 role6
AAABB374 role6 role1 role2 role3

and this time, i hope so it would be perfect! Smilie
