Greetings,
As a learning Perl Person, this is fun. Would someone please point me in the
correct direction to read a comma delimited file and put it into an array?
The fields are always in the same position, blank fields will have a comma.
My sample is:
header10,header11,,header13 header20,header21,header22,header23 header30,,header32,header33
I then need to format this data and an array looks like the easiest way of
doing this.
Many thanks,
Richard Hug
Use the split function. Look up 'perldoc -f split ' to know more about the function.
To get started, try this,
open(FH,"File.dat") or die "Cannot open filed #!\n";
while(<FH>) {
my @array = split(/,/,$_);
# do something with the array
}
