multiple key value hash problem

[kumarboston]

Hi All,

I have two tables of data, one contains 9 columns and another has 7 columns,
both the tables has 3 column common, now what i am trying to do is to merge the two tables in one using hash.
I used the first tables as the hash and made 4th column as the key and rest 5,6,7,8,9 as the values and now i read the another table and if the values existes then print the information from both the tables.
here is my code

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my  (%hashname,$cnum,$ctotal,$count,$number,$pdb,$crossangle,$resname,$respos,$resdist,@temp);
open(SP,"<packing_cluster.dat") or die "Could not open $!";
while(<SP>)
{
    my $line1 = $_;chomp $line1;
    @temp = split (/\s/,$line1);
    $cnum       = $temp[1];
    $ctotal     = $temp[2];
    $count      = $temp[3];
    $number     = $temp[4];
    $pdb        = $temp[5];
    $crossangle = $temp[6];
    $resname    = $temp[7];
    $respos     = $temp[8];
    $resdist    = $temp[9];
    $hashname{$number} = ($pdb,$crossangle,$resname,$respos,$resdist);
}
close(SP);
my $cnt =0;
#while (($number,$pdb) = each (%hashname))
#{
#    print "$number => $pdb\n";
#    $cnt +=1;
#}
open(CG,"rmsd_cluster.dat") or die "Check relevant file";
while(<CG>)
{
        my $line2 = $_; chomp $line2;
        my @gsp   = split(/\s/,$line2);
        if (exists $hashname{$gsp[5]})
        {
            print "$gsp[2]\t$gsp[3]\t$gsp[4]\t$gsp[5]\t$hashname{$gsp[5]}\t$gsp[7]\t$crossangle\n";
            $cnt +=1;
        }
}
#close(WRITE1);
print "$cnt\n";

the problem is i am not able to print the table in desired way.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

May we please see some sample data?

at a minimum this line looks wrong:

$hashname{$number} = ($pdb,$crossangle,$resname,$respos,$resdist);

you want to use square brackets to assign an array to a hash key:

$hashname{$number} = [$pdb,$crossangle,$resname,$respos,$resdist];

thats because its actually a reference to an array.

hi the sample data looks like

table 1

cnum ctotal count number pdb crossangle resname respos resdist
2 148 1 5265 xxx 25.3 ALA 25 6.6
2 148 2 4414 yyy 13.6 GLY 32 5.1

table 2
cnum ctotal count number pdb rmsd
2 148 1 5265 xxx 2.5
2 148 2 4414 yyy 1.3

now i am tying to merge the two table so that i can have one comple table rather than 2. I am trying to make number(table1) as key and rest column as values(table 1) and now matching the number (in table 2) and then merging the tables.

thanks
