jeah has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Question (script at end of these notes): * Why does my script give a result of '1' if I comment out line 6, using lines 4, 8 and 10? * The script prints all my content correctly and completely if I comment out lines 4 and 8, using only lines 6 and 10.The + signs in my script was automatically generated by this site, it's not part of my script. Thanks very much in advance for any help. What I want to do: Access a file's records whose individual attributes are delimited by pipes, the records themselves are separated by carriage returns/new line characters. Desired Sequence: 1. Assign the file to a variable 2. Assign specific attributes of each record to various variables 3. For each record, pass the values in these variables into a T-SQL statement that updates/inserts various SQL Server tables. Peripheral Notes: - I'm running Perl on WinXP - I already have the proper DBI module installed and code for the database connection and data manipulations - The entire file's records are as follows (verbatim in content and format as the file's): Baw|Vao|111 Noa St||NewYork|NY|10012|2123456789|123456789 Vca|Wxr|384 Mkl Ln|Xillo|CrrntStt|CT|05506|1015567781|1015567782- In my script (for testing item 1 only), the file's content is also hardcoded for testing (line 6), it includes the following to mimic the actual file's format: . "\n" . my script follows:
