All,
I am in need of doing the following in a perl/tk app i am writing ... I have
very large text files, about 300 characters per line, and thousands of lines
long.
I need to be able to assign variables to, for example, the characters in
positions 5-10, 50-100, and 280-300 in each line
There is no common delimiter to split each line.
So how can I open a file and process each line in such a way?
i.e.
open(CURRENTFILE, "$source_directory/$file") or die "Cannot open $file: $!";
## What would go here??
close CURRENTFILE;
Thx
Terry
