Ok, I think I have it opening the file correctly, now I want to create a
loop to process every record in the file. With the code below it does one
line and stops. Should I put a while in front of the line processing?
Thanks,

Ok, I think I have it opening the file correctly, now I want to create a

Thanks,
open(QUOTEP,"$qivQuoteFile");
open(NEWQUOTES, ">newtest5.txt");
If the file is too large, don't create a list of lines in memory.
You may have problems if you do it.
Instead, do
open(NEWQUOTES,"newquotes.txt");
open(OTHERFILE,">otherfile.txt");
while ($line=) {
chomp $line;
my @fields = map { $_ .= " " x (255-length($_)) } split(/,/,$line);
Ok, do you recommend I open the file and create a list of the lines in
that file? Example below on how I did the comma seperate list:
open(QUOTE2,"$QuoteFile");
open(NEWQUOTES, ">>newquotes.txt");
while ($line = )
{
$line =~s/\t/,/g;
print NEWQUOTES "$line";
}
close (NEWQUOTE
= substr($fields[$i],0,255);

Hi:
I am developing a input routine in perl that will take a SQL exported file
in tab delimited format and convert it to something that our mainframe can
process. The file will ultimately have 255 characters for each field.
I have been successful in replacing the tabs with comma's, but now
