in reply to Parsing multiple rows of text and converting to columns

Hi gingeremmie, First, it is perlmonks best practice that you put your code in < code > < /code > tags so we have a better idea what you're trying to achieve. :)
It will look like this:
my $code = asdf;

    ... best practice [to] put your code in < code > < /code > tags ...

    gingeremmie:
    ... and also data, input and output. For example, if the data of the OP had been in code tags, it would not be necessary to tediously edit (and possibly corrupt) the data in order to provide an example solution, and that might make it more likely that some busy monk will take the time to provide the example. Please see Writeup Formatting Tips, Markup in the Monastery and How do I post a question effectively?.
    (BTW: Because you posted originally as a registered monk, you can go back and update your OP to include the code tags! Hint, hint...)
