I am new to the Perl world and am trying to learn it. A coworker tells me that Perl will not work for what I am trying to do however, I think Perl would be a great tool to use and I feel this coworker is wrong. I have a file that contains several lines all as below: DR03555{tab} 45600062888{tab} 00008FLAT WASHER DR03555{tab} 228765329{tab} 00001GASKET
The meaning of the file is DR03555 = order number 45600062888 = part number 00008 = quantity FLAT WASHER = Description The lines all begin with the prefex DR I would like to read this file and produce the following output: 45600062888;8;FLAT WASHER 228765329;1;GASKET basiclly I need a file that lists the following: Part#;Quantity;Description Is this possible with Perl? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
