( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
OK, in light if this discussion, I have a similar problem.
I need help, I have a script that i am trying to do the following:
file1= list of unique ID numbers
file2= list of unique html code with the unique ID numbers within the code per line(about 16k-bytes each seperated by carage.
Both are standard text files.
===========
#!/usr/bin/perl
#read each line in test1.txt into data_file array
$data_file="test1.txt";
open(DATA, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!");
@data_file=<DATA>;

#read each line in code.txt into a names_file array
$names_file="code.txt"
open(NAMES, $names_file) || die("Could not open file!");
@names_data=<NAMES>;

#create loop that reads each ID in code.txt (NAMES array), searches for each in array elements for #test1.txt (DATA array), redirects a new (NAMES).html for each element
foreach ( $NAMES )
{
chomp($NAMES);
($NAMES=$DATA<0> > +("$NAMES<0>.html"));
}

close NAMES;
close DATA;

I am new to perl but this is absolutely riddled with errors and I have written this according to examples of similar scripts.

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.
