Dear folks, Can you please recommend possible pointers to my problem.
I have a number of perl programs which worked on a large set of txt files, each program producing its own output for each of the files. I then put together a summary file of worth while results from these output files. All this took a very long time and cannot be repeated due to data size. Unfortunately due to an omission each unit of result in the summary file has an extension missing from its corresponding ID, (carried over from the output files). So in other words I have an input file with bits of data each with an ID and one of three extensions (making them uniq). Then there are 7 output files from 7 different programs with the ID and extn carried over for each bit of output. These 7 files are then parsed into a summary file where each line holds an ID, WITHOUT the extn, followed by its output results. For each of the programs that has an entry in the summary file, I am trying to attach to the ID its corresponding extn from the 7 output files, but things are go so bad that I have decided to start from scratch with some direction from you folks. The problem is the 7 output files take up different formats. If anyone understands what I am talking about and can help please mail soon. If it helps I can put together small representations of the files. Cheers folks. amal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
