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

Here's a short working example you can go from:

for (<*.txt>) { open my $fh, '<', $_ or die "Can't open $_: $!"; my $record = join(', ', map { chomp; $_ } (<$fh>)); # <== HERE print "$_: $record\n"; close $fh; }

Just replace the line marked <== HERE with your code. This writes to STDOUT, so you can redirect your output wherever you like, or just add an open and select to automate it if you'll always be writig to the same location.

Take care that the <*.txt> glob does not match your output file.

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.
