Hello everyone,
I have a really simple question here:
I have a plain space delimited file that I want to read with WHILE
loop 1 line at the time and process each input record as an array of
elements. Then, on the next iteration of the loop, clean up the array
and populate it with contents of the next input record. Each input
record consists of 7 fields / elements separated by spaces. The reason
I need this is because I have to switch FIRST and LAST elements of the
record by places. For example:
Before: aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg
After: ggg bbb ccc ddd eee fff aaa
I am having trouble assigning contents of each input record to an
array.
If I can do that, then I will be use POP and UNSHIFT Perl functions to
switch the elements.
Here is what I have so far:
my $pop_element = ‘';
my @print_array = ();
open (OLD, "< $fname_out") || die "Cannot open OLD file
$fname_out!";
open (NEW, "> $temp") || die "Cannot open NEW file $temp!";
while (<OLD>) {
@print_array = "$_\n";
$pop_element = pop ( @print_array );
unshift ( @print_array, $pop_element );
$_ = @print_array;
print NEW "$_\n" || die "Cannot write NEW file $temp!";
}
close (OLD) || die "Cannot close OLD file $fname_out!";
close (NEW) || die "Cannot close NEW file $temp!";
rename ( $temp, $fname_out ) || die "Cannot rename NEW file $temp
to $fname_out!";
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dmitry. 2 3737
This newsgroup is defunct. Use comp.lang.perl. misc instead.
This should do more or less what you want (season to taste):
while (<>) {
@elems = split; # split on whitespace
@elems[0,-1] = @elems[-1,0]; # swap first and last elements
print join(',', @elems), "\n";
}
Thanks Roy, it worked perfectly!
I did, however post the same question to per.msc group, just curious
about other possible alternatives.
Best regards,
Dmitry. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I need to read a binary file and store it into a buffer in memory (system
has large amount of RAM, 2GB+) then pass it to a function. The function
accepts input as 32 bit unsigned longs (DWORD). I can pass a max of 512
words to it at a time. So I would pass them in chunks of 512 words until the
whole file has been processed. I haven't worked with binary files before so
I'm confused with how to store the binary file into memory. What sort of...

Hi all,
I was trying to make an image submit button with a rollover and discovered
to my suprise that there is no way to access a form element of the "image"
type. I tried specifying it by name and also by the elements array with
no luck.
Even weirder, I can sandwich an image button in between other input types
and then write a script diplaying the contents of the elements array and it
acts as if the image button does not exist at all!...

Hi,
I've a got a little (exercise) program that reads data from a file and
puts it into struct members. I run into trouble when one of the data
pieces is comprised of several words (eg "john doe", with a space in
it).
For console input, cin.getline(var, howMuchIWant) or cin.get() has done
the trick for me in the past. It doesn't seem to work for me nearly so
well with a file stream. I wouldn't have thought cpp regarded

Hi All, I am working on a program to take input from a txt file, do
some calculations, and then output the results to another txt file.
The program that I've written compiles fine for me, however, when I
run it, it stalls and does nothing. I'm wondering if there's something
obvious that I'm missing. My code is below and any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
