I'm sorry, the previous subject should have been changed. My apologies.
while (<FILE>) { $counter++; }
I know this is probably simple, but how would I increment by 20? In other words, $counter would increment 1 time for every twenty lines of the file?
Any
help would be appreciated.
while (<FILE>) { $counter=$counter +20; }
I think he meant the other way. Try something like:
while (<FILE>) {
++$counter unless $. % 20;
}$. is the line count; see 'perldoc perlop'
