People of the Perl,

I have this file that looks like:

e4933 e4343 e3435 e9809

and I am printing the first 40 lines using

open FILE ..... ;
while ( <FILE> ) {
chomp
print "$_ " if 1 .. 40;

and it gets me what I want as above on one line, but the end result needs to be

eject 0,0,0 e4933 e4343 e3435 e9809 ........

I tried to shift the array to populate it with the eject string but with

not exactly clear what you want your end result to be but:

my $cnt = 1;
my $string = 'eject 0,0,0';
while (<FILE>) {
   last if $cnt =< 40;
   chomp;
   $string .= $_;
   $cnt++;
}

or if you want it in an array

open FILE;
my @lines = <FILE>;
close FILE;

HTH :)
