Hi
Below is a Perl script which won't compile. My operating system is
Windows XP Home and Perl version is 5.10.1.3.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# import_track.prl
use warnings;
use strict;
open (INFILE, "track.txt") or die $!;
open (OUTFILE, ">outtrack.plt") or die $!;
my $outstring;
while (<INFILE>)
{
$outstring = (" " . substr($_,0,10) . ", " . substr($_,14,10) + ",0,
" . substr($_,28,6));
print OUTFILE "$outstring\n";
}
close (INFILE);
close (OUTFILE);
When I attempt to compile I get the error messages:
Syntax error at import_track.pl line 11, near ") {"
Syntax error at import_track.pl line 14, near "}"
This appears to me to be related to the "{" and "}" but I am a beginner!
I would appreciate help on this.
Thanks
Bill Casey
