Hi all,
I have to re-process a delimited file but I only need to proceed records from
the file that satisfy a specific condition. Can someone advise what is the best
way to do this? For example, if I have this file here ....
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~1111
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~2222
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~U~3333
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~4444
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~5555
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~U~6666
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~7777
A~BB~CCC~DDD~EEEE~D~8888
This file has already been processed, but somehow records where the 6th column =
D are not processed, so I want to re-run the Perl script but I only want to
process the records for when the 6th column = D.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
while (<FILE>) {
next unless (split /~/)[5] eq 'D';
:
process record
}
