Text::Table will align your output. Here is a sample program. Also, I used Sort::Naturally so that names with trailing digits will sort correctly, i.e. when they are greater than 1 digit long.

Update: in while loop, changed from split on space to split on tabs because thats how the fields are separated.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::Table; use Sort::Naturally; my %data; my @col2 = qw/ PA TT AT /; while (<DATA>) { chomp; my ($name, $col2, $col3) = split /\t/; push @{ $data{$name}{$col2} }, $col3; } my $tb = Text::Table->new( map {title => $_}, @col2); for my $name (nsort keys %data) { my @tmp; local $" = ','; for my $col2 (@col2) { push @tmp, $data{$name}{$col2} ? "@{ $data{$name}{$col2} }" : ""; } $tb->load(\@tmp); } print $tb; __DATA__ Name_1 TT XL_927799.1 Name_1 PA PA_392 Name_1 AT ZX_003039195.1 Name_2 TT XL_931313.1 Name_2 AT ZX_003043016.1 Name_3 TT XL_929616.1 Name_3 PA PA_5040 Name_3 PA PA_6336 Name_4 TT XL_928294.1 Name_4 PA PA_917

This prints:

PA TT AT PA_392 XL_927799.1 ZX_003039195.1 XL_931313.1 ZX_003043016.1 PA_5040,PA_6336 XL_929616.1 PA_917 XL_928294.1

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
