Hey all, I'm trying to open a text file, collect the file into an array called @records. Then I'm going to write the data back out to another text file based on a variable such as: $sfield and $var are fed from an HTML doc.
If ($sfield == 1) { >>open (INFILE, "<mytext.txt") >> or die "Error opening mytext.txt. $!, stopped"; >> @records = <INFILE>; >> close(INFILE); >> foreach my $rec (@records) { >> $w = $x++; >> chomp($rec); >> ($val, $val1, $val2, $val3) = split(/,/, $rec); >> if ($var == 1) { >> open (OUTFILE, ">mytext2.txt") >> or die "Error opening mytext2.txt. $!, stopped"; >> **comparison that looks for ($val == "Ronald")**** >> **second array built only with records that match criteria*** >> **only those records written back out to the new text file*** >> } >> if ($var == 2) { >> open (OUTFILE< ">mytext3.txt") >> } >>} #and so on.... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
