Re: Manipulating Output

    print FILE (split /:/ => $_) [-1], "\n";

Question: why do you open the file in each iteration? Opening it once is more efficient.

thanks. Sorry I only gave just a small portion of my script and you answered my question. Now that it works can you please explain how this works???? I am lost on the `=>` and the `[-1]` parts. `print FILE (split /:/ => $_) [-1], "\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`=>` is a fancy comma, and `[-1]` takes the last element of the list preceeding it. Abigail	[reply] [d/l] [select]
