in reply to Need Help Parsing File

I'm not terribly proficient myself, but I think this will work:
/test.txt:
first,line,and,end second,line,with,a break third,line,no,break
The code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @array; my @bigun; my $i; open (FILE, "/test.txt"); while (<FILE>){ chomp($_); if (/,/){ #out with the old push @bigun, (join ' ',@array) if (@array); #and in with the new @array=split /,/,$_; } else { #append the 'un-commaed' line to the lest element of the array $array[$#array]=$array[$#array].$_; } } push @bigun, (join ' ',@array); foreach $i(0..$#array){ print "$bigun[$i]\n"; }
And, the output:
first line and end second line with abreak third line no break
It's kind of dirty, but it'll do the job..

update: added use strict;. Mas apologies for that....
