How are the descriptions formatted ?
Apple.txt:
Fruit
Red
Round
Here's a qucik and dirty way. Obviously you'd probably want to do lot more my's in
there and probably functions instead of backtick executions. But that will give you a
basic outline of what needs done.
If this isn't on unix the stuff in the backticks probably won't do you much good
because windows stinks.
@list = ();
@files = `ls food`;
foreach $file(@files) {
my @content = `cat food/$file`;
$file .= ":";
foreach $line(@content) {
$file .= "$line\:";
}
$file =~ s/\:$//;
push(@list, $file);
}
Hope that helps
