I'm just a beginner to perl and am having some beginner type problems.
I need to import a external file containing 15 character ID numbers (one per record) into an single dimensional array within perl. Later this array will be used to interrogate other data within the program.
Can someone out there give me a example of how they have done something similar to this?
Thanks, Dave Crum
I suppose your file has one ID number per line, like this:
id.txt: 123456789012345 383292392393229 249429294292492 429494943239849
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict;
open(ID,"id.txt") or die "Cannot read id.txt: $!\n"; # open file for reading my @array = <ID>; # read whole file in array chomp for @array; # trim "\n" at the end
