slash

2003-06-25 Thread Susan Aurand
If  I want the following field to contain forwarded slashes - this is for a linux box, 
as follows.

$dir="//ITC/home/techs";

How do I get the forward slashes in there?
I have tried:
$dir ="'//ITC'";
$dir ='"//ITC"';
$dir =`"//ITC"`;
Nothing works. Help.
Thank you - Susan

using an AND operator

2003-01-11 Thread Susan Aurand

Is there an AND operator in perl? For example;

if ($SRF=1 and $SRL=1) {print"YES";)

 Any help would be appreciated.

strip first space

2002-03-01 Thread Susan Aurand

If I have a string and the first character is a space,
may not always be a space.
Example:  John
  Tommy
Beth

John and Beth have a space, Tommy does not.
How do I strip that. I do not want to use the global
command because a want the space between First
and Last name. Any suggestions?

ignore spaces in files

2002-02-18 Thread Susan Aurand

I have been writing Perl code for (1) week as of  today. Thanks to the
beginner user e:mail, and thank you to John Edwards, and
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and other input I have learned from this page. I have
put togther the following. It works well, and is doing what I want it to
do. Except, 1 little problem remains. Please read the below, and I would
appreciate any advice.
I have tried trim and chomp with no results.
Thank You Susan. (P.S. - I am not a student - I work in the ITC
department.)

This routine opens 15 different school files, for this example, I have
shorten it to 1 school. It creates a data file
call STNAME.DAT. This file contains, last name, first name, student #,
and school #. I then open STNAME, look for
duplicates using ( first 5 char's of last name+1 char of first name).
Look in arrary does it exist. if yes, add a counter to name.
I then store this in a result file, called result.dat. What my question
is, how do I strip out the spaces on the last name if the last
name is not 5 char. long. example: ASHE J  123456  396.

Example:  open(FILE396,"396.TXT") or die $!;  # open file for input
SCHOOLS INDIV. FILE
 print OUT
substr($_,12,5),substr($_,30,1),substr($_,3,9),"
",substr($_,0,3),"\n"
  while ;
 close(FILE396);

# CREATE result file, look for duplicates add counter on name, rebuild
string

 my %names;

 open(I,"STNAMES.DAT") or die"name: $!\n"; # open student consolidated
names
 open(O,">results.dat") or die"results: $!\n";  # result file open
output

   foreach $line()
 {
  my $name=substr($line,0,6);
  my $workingname=$name;
  my $counter=1;

while(exists($names{$workingname}))
  {
 $workingname=$name.$counter;
 $counter++;
  }

 $names{$workingname}=$workingname;
 print O $workingname,substr($line,7,13),"\n"; # add back
Student #
   # School #
  }

# The file below is results.dat  (if last name is less than 5 chars. it
fille in spaces. I want the spaces gone)

LINDSD   5 314

LINDS1   13065 314

LINDS2 225   396

LINDS3   11125 378

LOCK S   90174 314

LOKE  J   14013 314

LONDOS   13009 314

Re: Help me out

2002-02-15 Thread Susan Aurand

I took your advice and added the following code to my source code. I want to print
the students name to the result
file regardless if I add a number on the end of the student name  or not. I have
tried putting the PRINT O
at different location in this code. I can not get it to print to the result file.
WHY and HELP!!
Thank You
Susan

 open(I,'STNAMES.DAT') or die$!; # open student consolidated names
 open(O,'>results') or die"results: $!\n";  # result file open output

 $c=1;

 $foo=substr($_,0,26);# strip out only the student last name and first name.

 while(exists($student{$foo})){ # if the students is used already
$foo= "$_$c"; # add the numer to it
$_=$foo,substr($_,27,20); # add the remainder of the file back on to input
string
$c++; # increment the number }

$foo

2002-02-15 Thread Susan Aurand

I am learning Perl, so this may seem a dumb question to the advance Perl
Programmers.
What exact purpose does $foo do?
Example $foo=$_. What benefit do I get  from making the input string
$foo? Every place I look I
do not get a clear understanding or picture of $foo.
Thank you
Susan
