my brain this morning is blocked on this one I have a file something like
cpu01 value value value cpu02 value value value cpu03 value value value ... cpu01 value value value cpu02 value value value cpu03 value value value ... cpu01 value value value cpu02 value value value cpu03 value value value ... in this example column 1 can be cpu\d+ and cpu_all other it can be even eth0, fcs0 etc I want to open files for writing, one for each unique value in the first column, so that if the value of the data in the first column is "cpu01" then write to the file with the FH in the variable $cpu01 or if the value is "cpu_all" write to the file with the FH assigned to the the vaule $cpu_all This has to be simple ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
