Hi, I have a large pipe delimited text file that i want to loop through and sort out a column of data within that file. Let's call this column $sizes. I want to group these different sizes into categories. i.e. @sizeA = ("A","B","C"); @sizeB = ("D","E","F"); @sizeC = ("G","H","I");
This is what i want to do: If $sizes is in @sizeA print the sizes that are listed in @sizeA If $sizes is in @sizeB print the sizes that are listed in @sizeB same for @sizeC. Could someone show me how to do this? Below is what i have so far. Thanks. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; open(IN, $ARGV[0]) || die "Could not open data file: $ARGV[0]\n"; my @sizes = (<IN>); foreach my $line (@sizes) { # split rows into columns my @fields = split "\t", $line; my $size = $fields[2]; } close(IN); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
