Home: Perl Programming Help: Advanced: extracting unique elements of array

lunus Deleted Oct 31, 2000, 7:11 AM Post #1 of 7 (5527 views) extracting unique elements of array Can't Post Hi, Does anyone know the elegant way to extract unique elements of array and how many times they appear in the original array? Actually I am through with the first part, but on second, I'm kind of lost. Thanks, Ruslana

Specifically, you want "How can I extract just the unique elements of an array?" from Perl FAQ 4. This is also available online at http://www.perldoc.com/ if you don't have the docs installed on your computer (although you really should). ------------------ Jeff "japhy" Pinyan -- accomplished author, consultant, hacker, and teacher

I think this code would be easy to use. Japhy, your the one who taught me it too. undef %seen; @unique=grep(!$seen{$_}++, @old); And if you want to do specific field duplicate removal, then search forum posts, you'll find it, Japhy wrote out a whole block of code for it and It's really a good lesson.

It's now listed as "How can I remove duplicate elements from a list or array?". It's still in perlfaq4, though. ------------------ Jeff "japhy" Pinyan -- accomplished author, consultant, hacker, and teacher
