in reply to Re^5: comparing file contents
in thread comparing file contents

I have two files namely ICD-Codes-text which is tab format and other file named female.txt which has been split word by word . i need to compare the contents of female1.txt to ICD-codes file 0th array values. If there is a match then the matched value in female1.txt should be replaced with ICD-code files corresponding 1st array value. I am a beginner in PERL. I tried to write some code but i do not know where am going wrong or its completely wrong. Help me with this please

#!/usr/bin/perl print "reading 'ansvarig_vardenhet_utf8.txt'\n"; open(WIN, "icd-10-codes.txt"); while($line = <WIN>) { @columns = split(/\t/, $line); #print "$columns[1]"; foreach my $value (@columns) { #print "$value\n" } } close(WIN); print "reading 'ansvarig_vardenhet_utf8.txt'\n"; open(IN, "female1.txt"); while($line = <IN>) { %col = split(/ /, $line); #print "$columns[1]\n"; foreach my $val (%col) { if($val == $columns[0]){ $val =~ s/$val/$columns[1]/g; print IN ">>$val\n"; } } } close(IN);
