You want the open on the outside of the loop. You are using > on
the open, which basically gives you a new clean file each time. You could
use >> for appending the data, but there is no reason to open the file
repeatedly.
Wags ;)

Subject: printing output to a file
hello list
i am trying to print the output of a parsing script to a file- the way it
is right now, the print commands are within a foreach loop, and it prints
to the screen. in order to get the entire output into a file, i'm using a
simple set of commands like so:
foreach my $key (keys %alignments) {
print "$key\nXXXXXXXXXXXX\n", $alignments{$key}, "\nXXXXXXXXXXX\n";
open (OUT, '>outputfile.txt') or die "couldn't";
print OUT "$key\nXXXXXXXXXXXX\n", $alignments{$key}, "\nXXXXXXXXXXX\n"
}
print $ending_annotation;
exit;
the output to the screen prints the entire output correctly, but when i
open the file output.txt i get only the last item in my output, not the
entire list..
any help appreciated..
many thanks
nandita.
