Welcome to the Monastery.

Firstly, when posting example code, please use "code" tags, as described in Writeup Formatting Tips. This makes it easier for others to understand and download your code.

Secondly, it would have been better to create a more meaningful title for the posting: "Simple or not" conveys no useful meaning.

Now, on to (what I think is) your problem. If you are trying to replace all whitespace in your input with tabs, then preserve the newline, the following should accomplish that task (untested):

use strict; use warnings; open my $fh_in , '<', 'test1.txt' or die "Can not open file test1.txt: + $!"; open my $fh_out, '>', 'test2.txt' or die "Can not open file test2.txt: + $!"; while (<$fh_in>) { s/\s+/\t/g; print $fh_out "$_\n"; } close $fh_out; close $fh_in;

In my opinion, you never clearly stated what your goal was. It would have been more useful if you had supplied a few sample lines of your input file, your actual output and your expected output.

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.
