Unable to uniqe my array

Having problems "uniquing" an array. Everything works except where I attempt to uniqe the output at very bottom of script. I've tried dozens of variations. fyi... can't use modules, can't use (cmd).

#!/usr/bin/perl

$id=id;
$pass=password;

$tsmsrv_cmd0="select volume_name,access from volumes";
$tsmsrv_cmd1="upd vol";
$tsmsrv_cmd2="q actlog begind=-8 endd=today msgno=1420";


foreach my $arg (@ARGV) { # Capturing command line Variables

$instance=$ARGV[0]; # This will be the TCPSERVERADDRESS
$node_namee=$ARGV[1]; # This will be the TCPPORT

}

open(LOGIN3, "dsmadmc -se=$instance -id=$id -pass=$pass -datao=yes -tabd $tsmsrv_cmd2|") || die "open: $!";
@get_restore_vol_list=<LOGIN3>;
close(LOGIN3);
foreach my $line (@get_restore_vol_list) {
@splitit = split (/ /, $line);
@get_restore_vol_list1 = "$splitit[7]\n";
chomp(@get_restore_vol_list1);

%hash = map {$_, 1} @get_restore_vol_list1;
@unique = keys %hash;
print "@unique\n";
}
 
Hi

Looks good. Tested it. Works for me. I mean, strictly the 3 lines of duplicate removal.

But the problem is probably earlier, in this line :

[tt]@get_restore_vol_list1 = "$splitit[7]\n";][/tt]
Why are you setting an array to a single scalar ?

Maybe you intended to [tt]push[/tt] ? In that case, supposing your Perl version is at least 5.10.1, I would change the 2[sup]nd[/sup] [tt]foreach[/tt] like this :
Code:
[b]foreach[/b] [b]my[/b] $line (@get_restore_vol_list) {
  @splitit = [b]split[/b] (/ /, $line);
  [b]chomp[/b] $splitit[7];
  [b]push[/b] @get_restore_vol_list1, $splitit[7] [b]unless[/b] $splitit[7] ~~ @get_restore_vol_list1;
}

Feherke... you're right... beautiful. Thanks!
 
Also what's the purpose of this?

Code:
foreach my $arg (@ARGV) { # Capturing command line Variables

 $instance=$ARGV[0]; # This will be the TCPSERVERADDRESS
 $node_namee=$ARGV[1]; # This will be the TCPPORT

 }

You seem to loop the ARGV collection placing each item into $arg, and then don't use it? It appears to be a superfluous use of a loop?
