All,
I am trying to figure out how to print 8 scalers/elements then \n, then 5
more lines of 8 or less for a max total of 40 Here is my code:
print FILEOUT "eject 0,0,0 ";
my $count = `wc -l <$ejectapes`;
if ($count <= 40 ) {
while(<FILE>) {
chomp $_;
print FILEOUT "$_ "; # if 1..8
#print substr($a,0,7);
}
close (FILEOUT);
}
The substr is sort of what I want, but is sprintf possible ...what should
I use? Here is what my end results will look like if I had a file with 40
E strings:
Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx \n
x5 \n
anything less but it cannot exceed 8 per line:
Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx Exxxx \n
Exxxx ..... \n
thank you,
Derek B. Smith
