Looping through properties of an object 1

[rawkin]

Hi,

I'm wanting to perform a series of regex's on a number of properties for an object. I've tried something similar to;

# ------------------------
my $object = class->new("xxxxxx"

foreach my $field (@fields) {
my $item = $object->{$field};
# .. then perform regex's on $item
}

# ------------------------

When I try to assign the value of "$object->{$field}" to "$item", I receive the error;

"Can't use string ("1&quot as a HASH ref while "strict refs"
in use at."

Would anyone be able to provide the correct way to reference "$object->{$field}" ?

Any help is appreciated!

Ok, after having a little break from the code, and re-reading it a little later, I did some debugging further up the code (between the object creation, and the foreach loop).

The creating of the object "my $object = class->new(.." was causing the error, and therefore didn't have the correct data when it got to the foreach loop.

After fixing up the object class, it's all working fine.. this explains why perfectly logical code seemed to just not work..

thanks,

Pete
