For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Summation of file size according to user

Posted by hycheah (hycheah), 12 October 2006
I have a text file to process that looks like this:

john2    1k
pete3    2k
nlee5    2k
john2    1k
john2    1k
nlee5    3k
pete3    2k
...
...

The first column is the user name and the second column is the file size of file belonging to the user.

I need to sum up all the files size of a particular user and produce the output which looks like this:

john2    total: 3k
pete3    total: 4k
nlee5    total: 5k
...
...

The user names are scattered all over the list and does not come in sequential order. And there are more than 3 user names depending on the file.

Use a hash, with the keys being the user names and the values the accumulated storage to date.

Ok done. I have managed to group all the values under 1 key.

$array{"john2"} = ("1", "1", "1");
$array{"pete3"} = ("2", "2");
$array{"nlee5"} = ("2", "3");

But I am still working on how to sum up all the values. Any ideas?   Thanks.

Yep, don't group them that way ... write something like

$kilocount{$person} += $newkbs;

as you go through the data.
