Tie::File is simplest.

tie my @array, 'Tie::File', $file_name or die("Unable to open file \"$file_name\": $!\n"); print($array[$_]) for 6, 1003, 2965;

Tie::File can use a fair bit of memory (for its index, which is above and beyond what the memory argument limits), so you might want to write your own (faster, more memory efficient) solution.

my %lines_of_interest = map { $_ => 1 } 6, 1003, 2965; open my $fh, '<', $file_name or die("Unable to open file \"$file_name\": $!\n"); my $num_lines = keys %lines_of_interest; while (<$fh>) { if ($lines_of_interest{$.}) { print; last unless --$num_lines; } }

Update: Added Tie::File code.
Update: Added key counting to exit loop sooner.

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.
