array of arrays with data from files

Hello, I have 2 data sets 1 in each file 'temp1.txt' and 'temp2.txt'. single line only. these are comma delimited. my x values are 1 .. 2000

if I hard code the y values into the below array of arrays, it produces a good graph using gd graph. if I reference the file... i get no output using gd graph

how do I go about putting the contents from said file into the array?

thanks

open($temp_line1, '<' ,'c:\video\temp1.txt') or die("Cannot open temp1
+.txt\n");
open($temp_line2, '<', 'c:\video\temp2.txt') or die("Cannot open temp2
+.txt\n");

my @data = ([ 0 .. 2000   ],  # x Values
            [ $temp_line1 ],  # y Values
            [ $temp_line2 ]); # y Values
close $temp_line1;
close $temp_line2;

__DATA___

temp1.txt '16, 17, 19, 22, 21, 22, 25, 28, 31, 35, 39,....'
temp2.txt '17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 27, 29, 33, 36, 40, 43,....'

Maybe Text::xSV or split?	[reply]

r0adawg: Check out `perldoc -f split`, ideal for splitting a string into a list of values: `my $text = "16, 17, 19, 22, 21, 22, 25, 28, 31, 35, 39"; my @values = split /,\s/, $text;` [download] ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.*	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You are not throughing a line there, You're throughing the filehandle which is different. You'll first need to put that file handle into a variable then split, or just split the file handle an array so you can use it there. to extract the content of the file handle you'll need to use what's called diamond operators `"<>"` for example: `my @y1 = split /,/,<$temp_line1>;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks, that worked perfectly... I had not tried to use a temp array, I had only tried to split the current data set.	[reply]
