I am brand new to perl; I am only on chapt 4 of the learning perl book. My
boss has already given me a project to do that I am really struggling with.
I know you are all really busy, but I would really appreciate any help you
can give.
I have a text file that looks something like this
OH: 702
PA: 702
ND: 702
NJ :703
NY: 703
Ca: 703
#my simple program
open(STATES,"state.txt")||
die "can't open state:";
while ($line = <STATES>)
{
print $line;
}
close STATES;
I am able to open the file and read it with no problem. Where I get lost is
My boss wants the data to come out like
702 OH, PA, ND
703 NJ, NY, CA
I have looked up Faq questions and have looked through my books. I have
even tried formating it with no luck. Any help you can give would be great.
Thanks,
Debbie Christensen
