OK, Now I am trying to select only records that are in both files. I am trying to go through one file and then check if it is in the next. I am stumped????? Snip
open VEH, $veh or die "Cant open it :$!"; open CKEY, $ckey or die "Cant open it :$!"; open WRFILE, ">$wrfile"; while (defined ($line = <VEH>)) { chomp $line; @data = split(/\;/,$line); $true = 0; foreach (<CKEY>) { next if ($_ ne $data[1]); $true =1 } if ($true eq 1) { #$carcount=$carcount+1; printf WRFILE ("0%9d",$data[0]); print WRFILE $data[2], ";"; print WRFILE "\n"; } } close VEH; TIA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
