Education

Coleman College, La Mesa, CA

Master of Science Information Technology, Summa cum Laude December 16, 2005

Bachelor of Science Computer Information Science, August 30, 1997

Certificate in Computer Information Science, October 12, 1996

I  have an array called @data.  I want to check each element in the array for a value, and if that value exist, I wan to delete it

I could try

@data =~ ~ s/$postalCode//;

### creates an error about private arrays

Maybe this

for my $dat(@data){
$dat=~ s/$postalCode//;
}

The above code does not modify the array at all.  We could create a temporary array and then pop puch and reassign upon going through each element.  That could be time consumming especially if I have 250,000 arrays.  So let's look at map. Charles Galpin has written a pretty simple tutorial on using map here http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1044685.html.

So after reading Charles' article,  I try .

map {s/$postalCode//} @data;

Just to a make sure it works I ran the a line of data through it.  You should always check yoru code on small sets of data. The test and results are below.

Hope this helps in your data munging
