Hi, I am new to perl and have been chucked in the deep end!!! I have been
asked to write a perl script, with a output in report style;
Description for script:
Read a file, (sorted)
take certain data from the file, (problem)
put the certain data in to fields. (problem)
The big problem being that the File is not sorted in any form, e.g. no
existing columns or fields or Headings!
What I need to get from the file are:
ID NUMBER, BranchNAME, ADDRESS.
The file contains the above 3 data types and about another 5, which I need
to get rid off!!!!!
Can any body please suggest how do this task or what I need to read up on
(topics e.g. Report writing etc) or any other tutorials on report writing
or, any thing to show me how to get certain data from a file
please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any help would be appreciated as I only have two days to this in!!!
Somebody please help!
