( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

That is under-specified. What is the table layout? Spaces only or tabs? With TAB's, have a loog at Text::CSV and it's faster parent Text::CSV_XS. If spaces only, you have a problem, as the first line is not aligned with the rest. If it were, pack/unpack would most likely be of help:

# Example using split on multiple spaces open my $fh, "<", "INPUT"; while (<$fh>) { $. < 100 and next; chomp; my ($typ, $gid, $org, $lvl) = split m/\s\s+/ => $_; say "$. $gid, $lvl"; } close $fh; # Example with TAB's use Text::CSV_XS; open my $fh, "<", "INPUT"; my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, sep_char => "\t", auto_dia +g => 1 }); while (my $line = $csv->getline ($fh)) { $csv->record_number < 100 and next; my ($typ, $gid, $org, $lvl) = @{$line}; say "$. $gid, $lvl"; } close $fh; # Example with unpack (I manually aligned the header line) open my $fh, "<", "INPUT"; while (<$fh>) { $. < 100 and next; chomp; my ($typ, $gid, $org, $lvl) = unpack "A25 A10 A26 A*" => $_; say "$. $gid, $lvl"; } cloase $fh;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
