I have worked with this program to parse a text file. It does what it is suppose to do. it replaces (,) commas with (|) pipes. However it gives me a warning message at the begining
"Unrecognized escape \d passed through at "Filename.pl" line 5" I tried to debug this program but I haven't gotten any where. here is my code :
I'll appreciate any help. Please write to -->edge99off@hotmail.com
#! perl -w
use strict;
open(IN, "<c:\doclist.chr") or die "Couldn't open file, $!";
open(OUT, ">c:\doclist.txt") or die "Couldn't open file, $!";
while(<IN>)
{
chomp; # Remove the newline
my ($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4, $var5, $var6, $var7) = split /,/;
print OUT $var1,"|",$var2,"|",$var3,"|",$var4,"|",$var5,"|",$var6,"
+|",$var7,"\n";
}
exit;
close IN
close OUT
update (broquaint): added formatting

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

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).
