You can also split the detection of WINDSOR RIVER from the extraction on the values. Here is my way ...

#!usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use List::Util qw(sum); my @windsordigits; while (my $x = <DATA>){ next unless $x =~ /WINDSOR\sRIVERSIDE/; push @windsordigits, +(split /,/, $x)[-1]; } die "No 'Windsor digits found in input\n" unless @windsordigits; my $average = sum(@windsordigits) / @windsordigits; print "Average is: $average\n"; __DATA__ CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,10 CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,20 CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,14 CA006139520,"WINDSOR DRIVE, ON CA",2018-01-02,10

I use a regex to match, then if we matched in the regex, split the line on the , character and take the last element or the resulting list using the [-1] offset.

Update

Added a die if no digits are detected in the input.

Cheers,
R.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
