So much for rushing to post :) anyway I tested the below code and it works: ----------- # subsitute with your array my @array = qw ( foo bar baz boz box ); my $file = 'out'; my $num =1; my $cnt = 0; my @tmp; foreach my $line (@array) { # your row or line stuff here $tmp[$cnt] = $line; ++$cnt; if ($cnt == 2) { dmp($file.$num, [EMAIL PROTECTED]); # print "@tmp\n"; ++$num; $cnt = 0; undef @tmp; } } # dump remaining if there is any dmp($file.$num, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) if @tmp; # print "@tmp\n"; sub dmp { my $file = shift; my ($a) = shift; open(F, ">$file") or die "can't open: $!"; for (@$a) { print F "$_\n" }; close F; } -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
