Thank's for your help with regex.
The program has been finished and some features have been added, those are reference line numbers at the beginning/ending of each line in the output file.
TABs have been changed to SPACEs for portability with Unicode.
The program read the input file to collect the maximum line reference number (max_line), number of line containing text (regex
/[a-zA-Z0-9]/) in the input file (valid_line)
, the number of
group of words read from the input file for the max array (nbr_max_tab) and the respective TABs stop position in max array.
| variable name |
variable type |
line number in program |
description |
| max_line |
scalar number |
{16 27} |

| max_tab |
scalar number |
{3 8 10 11 13 22 25} |
current index in the max array |
| nbr_line |
scalar number |
{3 16 23 29} |
current line number when writing line reference numbers |
| nbr_max_tab |
scalar number |
{3 13} |
number of index numbers (size) in the max array |
| valid_line |
scalar number |
{3 8 16} |
number of line containing text (regex /[a-zA-Z0-9]/) in the input file |
| max |
array number |
{3 10 25} |
array containing the maximum TAB stop column number for each group of words read from the input file |
| ARGV |
array misc |
{1 3 4 23 27} |
array containing command line arguements passed to the program, those are
0 input file to read from
1 output file to write to
2 number of 0s to prepend to line numbers when writing line reference numbers
3 starting number for line numbers when writing line reference numbers
4 number of SPACEs between reference numbers {2 3} and line content ($_) when writing to output file (1)
|
| LAST_MATCH_START/@-/$-[0] |
array number |
25 |
column where TABs start within line and between group of words |
| LAST_MATCH_END/@+/$+[0] |
array number |
{10 25} |
column where TABs end within line and between group of words |
| $_ |
scalar misc |
25 |
last line read from the input file |
| {F0 F1} |
scalar pointer |
{4 6 17 19 23 25 27 28 32} |
position in input/output files |
The input.txt and output.txt file have used Ubuntu Mousepad
http://www.xfce.org/ having vertical scrolling which vi lacks
input have been purposely misaligned and containing empty lines

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).
