You can perform any regular string actions on hash table data after you reference it using $hget or $hfind. -genius_at_work Well lets say there are data (IP's) for an item name. Each item name has a different number of data. I want to perform a task or each one of those data, but how do I know how many data are there for each item name? For example: itemname1 1234 2434 6234 6346 itemname2 3456 itemname3 6345 2344 How do I know how many times to run the task for each item name, by data count? I registered; you should too.

You need to locate the hash item and then use the token identifiers to access each section of the data from that hash item.

Example:

Code:


var %data = $hget(hash1,item3)
echo -a number of tokens: $numtok(%data,32)
echo -a first token: $gettok(%data,1,32)
%data = $puttok(%data,ABCD,1,32)
echo -a new first token: $gettok(%data,1,32)
hadd hash1 item3 %data

Example:

Code:


var %c = 0, %cc = $hget(hash1,0).item
  while (%c < %cc) {
    inc %c
    var %item = $hget(hash1,%c).item
    var %data = $hget(hash1,%item)

    var %i = 0, %ii = $numtok(%data,32)
    while (%i < %ii) {
      inc %i
      echo -a Item: %item  Data %i $+ : $gettok(%data,%i,32)
    }
  }
}
