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

I have a file 'A' which contains n lines of single word strings like

hye bye bin . . n

Now I want to look for these words in some other file 'B' and delete those lines wherever they are found and write the new file as 'C'

Till now I am trying to use this..

#!/usr/local/bin/perl foreach $file (@ARGV) { # open a file and assign the filehandle F open(F, $file) or die("can't open myfile.txt: $!\n"); # read in the whole file into an array of lines @lines = (); while(<F>) { push(@lines, $_); } close(F); # close the filehandle foreach (@lines) { my $string = "@lines"; open(my $infile,"<", file1) or die $!; open (my $outfile,">>", file2) or die $!; while (<$infile>) { if ($_ !~/$string/) { print $outfile $_; } } close $infile; close $outfile; } }

But its giving me error and also not giving results.

Please help !!!

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.
