Hi, just joined minutes ago. I am trying join tab-delimited files into a single file/table Example, say I have these 4 files/tables:
ID value (table1)
Aa 22
Bb 28
Cc 32
Dd 50
ID value (table2)
Aa 34
Cc 112
Dd 77
Ee 89
Kk 124
ID value (table3)
Bb 75
Cc 91
Dd 132
ID value (table4)
Aa 66
Cc 94
Ee 213
Gg 250
The output after joining should look like this:
ID value1 value2 value3 value4
Aa 22 34 0 66
Bb 28 0 75 0
Cc 32 112 91 94
Dd 50 77 132 0
Ee 0 89 0 213
Gg 0 0 0 250
Kk 0 124 0 0
My best effort:
#usr/bin/perl!
use strict;
#I opened all files (containg the tables) one by one; is #there a way
+I can open all files at once?
open(FILEH1, "<table1.txt");
while (my $file = <FILEH1>){
chomp $file;
my @file1 = split('\t', $file); #to pick IDs and #values => $fil
+e1[0] and $file1[1]
}
open(FILEH2, "<table2.txt");
#and continued to tables 3 and 4.
#And then I tried to collect the items which is where I got #stuck.

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).
