in reply to Combine files, while parsing info.

The main question here is what's the criteria you wish to use when binding RESULT and DATA. From what I understood it's not line-to-line, but a paragraph in RESULT foreach line in DATA, based on the filepath matches. For that purpose, there are, (ahem), more than one way to do it

One way would be to create an @array out of DATA (not RESULT) and use that data as hashkeys, or grep for it foreach line in RESULT.
Another way would be to split RESULT according to the filepath:

undef $/; #slurps entire file while (<RESULT>){ @my_data=split m{(?:"D:/Program Files/)}; #splits according to the + filepath without removing it }

Then iterate over DATA and match the two, substituting the ""D:/Program Files...arp" part with the appropriate line from DATA. In cases such of this, writing down exactly what you need to get, and what you want from each file will give you a "blueprint" of the program you'll end up writing.

Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.
We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.
