Re^3: How to concatenate a generic array of arrays and an array of hashes

Each file contains data, I import the data on arrays then I short them on array of arrays

I don't know what exactly you wish to do - do you mean sort?

If you want to sort them, how would your output appear?

You stated your solution is what you want.

I have found a way to print all data and also to print individual 1 by one the elements but not the arrays.

I don't know what you mean in the statement above. How do you want to print the arrays?

Hello Cristoforo, I am trying to read n number of .txt files as argument inputs. Each file contains infinite n number of lines in the file. I want to extract the the 4th element of each line. Each element of each line is separated with a column ":". Line example: `Line_1:Line_1_1:Line_1_2:Line_1_3:Line_1_4` After collecting each element from each line I want to put them on an array so I am able to manipulate the values of each element. The reason that I am using array of arrays is that I do not know the number of .txt files that I am going to use. As a second step I am trying to print the collected values based on order of the files separated with a space in between. Sample of the expected output: `Line_1_3 Line_3_3 Line_4_3 Line_2_3 Line_5_3 Line_6_3 Line_7_3` [download] Each column represents the *.txt file that was loaded. For example if we had loaded the sample.txt it would be column 1, sample_2.txt would be column 2 and sample_3.txt would be column 3. I hope this explains more and produces less confusion. Thanks for your time and effort to assist me. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hello Cristoforo,

I am trying to read n number of *.txt files as argument inputs. Each file contains infinite n number of lines in the file. I want to extract the the 4th element of each line. Each element of each line is separated with a column ":".

Line example:

Line_1:Line_1_1:Line_1_2:Line_1_3:Line_1_4

After collecting each element from each line I want to put them on an array so I am able to manipulate the values of each element.

The reason that I am using array of arrays is that I do not know the number of *.txt files that I am going to use.

As a second step I am trying to print the collected values based on order of the files separated with a space in between.

Sample of the expected output:

Line_1_3 Line_3_3 Line_4_3
Line_2_3          Line_5_3
                  Line_6_3
                  Line_7_3
[download]

Each column represents the *.txt file that was loaded. For example if we had loaded the sample.txt it would be column 1, sample_2.txt would be column 2 and sample_3.txt would be column 3.

I hope this explains more and produces less confusion.

Thanks for your time and effort to assist me.
