Hi, Can u please give me a sample code for doing arithmatic operation in PERL. My data file contains records like this (record delimiter is *) :

* Movie="ABC" show=4 
10 20 30 14 90 30
21 13 11 10 09 23
22 05 22 15 19 20

* Movie="XYZ" show=4 
10 20 30 14 90 30
21 13 11 10 09 23
22 05 22 15 19 10

* Movie ...
...
..
[download]

And the '* Movie...' that line is like a header for a record and the numbers like ( 10 20 30 in the first record) are stored in one individual line and so on, its not stored linear. I want to calculate the numbers which is equal to or more than 20 in that record, in this case in the first record i've to add (20+30+90+30+21+23+22+20) and so on for the remaining records. and i want to display the result in a ordinary tabular structure like this.

Movie      Show     Collection>20   
ABC          4            256
XYZ          4            236

Can u please help me? Thanks.

• 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.
