Hi All,
I have a list in the following format ->
room
surname
firstnames
What I would like to is read the file into an array and combine the
firstname and surname onto the same line and ignore the room. Below is
an example of what I want to do ->
@line = <>;
$surname = $line[1];
chomp ($surname);
$fname = $line[2];
chomp ($fname);
print "$surname, $fname\n";
this needs to loop through the array till the end but on each loop the
$surname and $fname elements need to increment by 3, so the next time
the loop runs it will look something like this ->
@line = <>;
$surname = $line[4];
chomp ($surname);
$fname = $line[5];
chomp ($fname);
print "$surname, $fname\n";
I would like to end up with a list of names only, eg ->
surname, firstname
surname, firstname
i would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction on
this one. TIA.
Gian
