Re^2: Splitting Multiple files into arrays.

[devbond]

I have a 2D File like the following and i have 8 such files which i have to put into 8 Arrays. 00:00 2453 10319 0 0 01:00 1565 626 0 0 02:00 1171 4195 0 0 03:00 1117 3597 4 0 04:00 1494 569 0 0 05:00 2873 0900 0 0 06:00 4899 2368 0 0 07:00 4251 9664 0 0 08:00 5791 8910 0 0 09:00 7068 0138 0 0 10:00 8464 3881 0 0 11:00 9610 5291 0 0 12:00 1017 8634 0 0 13:00 1090 8203 0 0 14:00 1322 9165 0 0

That data is tab-delimited, not space-delimited. I'd use Text::CSV for this.

use Text::CSV;
my $csv = Text::CSV->new({ sep_char = "\t" });
my $array_ref = $csv->getline_all($fh); # OR...
my @array  = @{ $csv->getline_all($fh) };

You can easily adapt the loop constructs I suggested, above, or many of the other suggestions given by others, with this approach. Good luck.
