Re^4: printf syntac

Hi Monks i have 2 arrays @totalexpenses = "ONE" , "TWO" , "THREE"; and @totalcosts = "1" , "2" , "3"; by executing the following code i do not get the result i wish to have in WRITEFILE filehandler. gives me:

 
ONE
TWO
THREE
1
2
3

but what i want to look like is :
ONE 1
TWO 2
THREE 3
[download]

do i need another loop or a hash to form the data ?

open  WRITEFILE , ">>$time.txt" or die "write error\n";
my $format = " %10s\n" x @totalexpenses . "%10s\n" x @totalcosts;
printf WRITEFILE  $format, @totalexpenses , @totalcosts;
close WRITEFILE; 
}

List::MoreUtils has a couple of functions that do what you want - `pairwise` and `each_array` `use List::MoreUtils qw/pairwise each_array/; my @totalexpenses = qw/ ONE TWO THREE/; my @totalcosts = 1 .. 3; print "pairwise\n\n"; $a = $b = 0; # avoid "used only once" warnings print pairwise { sprintf "%10s %10s\n", $a, $b } @totalexpenses, @tota +lcosts; #or pairwise { printf "%10s %10s\n", $a, $b } @totalexpenses, @totalco +sts; print "\neach_array\n\n"; my $iter = each_array @totalexpenses, @totalcosts; while ( my ( $costs, $exp ) = $iter->() ) { printf "%10s %10s\n", $costs, $exp; }` [download] Output: `pairwise ONE 1 TWO 2 THREE 3 each_array ONE 1 TWO 2 THREE 3` [download] update: added pairwise in void context alternative	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Many thanks FunkyMonk I had not a clue how to do it	[reply]

The solution with List::MoreUtils is definitely good. But sometimes (like when writing code that needs to run on lots of different machines), reliance on a non-core module can be less economical than we would like, especially when the task being solved by the module isn't that complicated to begin with. Here's the solution without the extra module: `open WRITEFILE, ">>", "$time.txt" or die "$time.txt: $!"; my $format = " %10s %10s\n"; printf WRITEFILE $format, $totalexpenses[$_], $totalcosts[$_] for (0.. +$#totalcosts); close WRITEFILE;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
