Hi I have a data matrix that represents the similarities between a group of items
A B C D E F G A 1 B 1 C 1 D 1 E 1 F 1 G 1 I will like to extract all the similarity values for one particular item. Let say I will like to extract the similarity values of item C against all the other items. I will have to extract the values on C horizontaly until you reach the diagonal and then the values down. How can I do this in perl considering that the position of C could vary depending on the dataset. I have to do this extraction many times, this is why I am thinking on a perl script.
