hi, i've read and reread "learning perl"'s explanation of the join function but i still can't get join to do what i want. i have a file which has one word on each line but some lines have more than one word on a line and are seperated by a space. i want to join all the words together so that the words are not all on a seperate lines, but following one after the other seperated by space. the following is the code i have which for some reason adds a space before each word and does not join the words using a space a glue. ================================================================== #!/usr/bin/perl #use strict; open (NAMES, "names.txt")||die "can't open names.txt $!"; @names = <NAMES>; foreach $line (@names){ $result = join("", @boaz); print $result; }
================================================================== any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks -- - josh N8MSO 20A8 2FC6 9099 D215 78F4 D005 B9F3 21C4 300C C25E ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - tel: +972.58.520.636, http://www.tkos.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
