Re: script not working

Hi mate please check the following, just change the path since I work on Windows.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;


open (file1, "file1.txt");
my @lines1= <file1>;
my $fivefirstfile1= substr($lines1[2], 0, 5);
print "Five first characters are:", $fivefirstfile1, "\n";
# print "Five first characters are: $fivefprot1\n";

Wrong, wrong, wrong! You still have the original error in the array_element's index... and your reply duplicates what's offered (one hopes, "with good intent," but with the same mistake) above. Please, test your answers. Any other approach runs a serious chance that you'll be providing bad guidance to future readers. <rant> ... especially when XP-whoring leads the careless to upvote your node. aaaAAARGH!</rant> &cv():#r$!!

the code was tested, and the index should be 1 instead of 2, since start with 0 and the outcome is Line#2. In that you are right. But, the code works!!! Happy new year.	[reply]
