in reply to How to loop over two lines, alter a value in the current line and save it to the previous line?

Greetings,
First some suggestions, against using barewords, and for using open in its three terms form: more explicit and understandable
Also I put there use autodie because I'm lazy :$

use warnings; use strict; use autodie; open my $in,'<', "in.txt"; open my $out,'>', "out.txt";
Since you start at first line and then jump over each line to save to the previous line you can use the perl auto variable for line counts
my $previous_line; while (<$in>) { $current_line = $_; chomp $current_line; if(!defined($previous_line) || $. mod 2 != 0){ $previous_line = $current_line; next; } my @previous_columns = split(" ", $previous_line); my $end_coor = $previous_columns[2] + $previous_columns[3]; my @current_columns = split(" ", $current_line); my $seq_length = length $previous_columns[6]; my $gap_count = $previous_columns[6] =~ tr/Q//; my $original_length = $seq_length - $gap_count; my $original_end_coor = $previous_columns[2] + $original_length; my $distance = $current_columns[2] - $original_end_coor; $current_columns[2] = $end_coor + $distance; $previous_line = $current_line; print $out "$current_columns[2]\n"; } close $in; close $out;
I'm not sure about the way you want to go over the file though, do you want to just jump over half of the lines?

    Why do you think the OP is jumping (wants to jump) over half of the lines?
