Re: strings printing bug

I tried your suggestion and got the following output: 1) the first col didn't print, and the 3rd col overwrote the 2nd; this is the main stumbling block 2) also, what if example.txt has 36 lines with the same format as described. FYI I'm using cgywin's version of perl. -- On Apr 26, 9:55 am, [EMAI

strings printing bug

2008-04-25 Thread evan9021
The following script is to read 4 consecutive lines at a time from a file, concatenate the first 3 lines (with a ", "), and print the result to STDOUT. If the 3 lines aren't concatenated they print correctly, however if they are, the result is gibberish. Any suggestions. thx., EC. -
