( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

And the (not shown) code runs perfectly fine

great

the colours in the __DATA__ section asign perfectly with the phone models.

can't see this section in the post. How is this data section structured?

...to adding a second column into the phones.txt file

Already with two columns... but only in some rows

iphone samsung s2 Apple iPhone 4s test1

(Well in fact, with a number of columns between one and four, maybe more depending on the name of the phone, who knows?)

I added a column with values (seperated by tab) into the text file however that is also getting printed in the output file aswell as the first column? I want to differentiate between the columns at the beginning of the loop... I hope this makes sense? please can someone help me?

I read it three times and still don't understand your post, sorry, what is the question?. You can not use split like this if you have a variable number of columns in each row. Can we see a sample of your data?

Let see:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; open (my $PHONE_FILE, '<', 'phones.txt') or die "Can't open file: $!\n +"; while(<$PHONE_FILE>) { chomp; my ($col1,$col2,@columns) = split /\t/, $_; print "$col1\t$col2\n"; }

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
