I know that this is not the forum to ask perl questions. But is there some one who can help me on how to read two lines at a time using a Perl script
My script looks like this : open(FILE_IN, "<$datafile") or die "Cannot open $datafile...\n"; while(<FILE_IN>) { chomp; @fields = split(/;/); print ("Processing line $. for emission...\n"); PROMPT Processing $. for emission ... ($cField1, $cField2, $cField3) = @fields[0..2]; ... and so on In this case, as you see, it takes only a line at a time and I would to consider couple of lines at a time. Is it possible to do it and how ?
