in thread perl to add results of 2 arrays from 2 files together.

> I'd advise against trying to do your own CSV handling

While "his" code tries kind of CSV handling (splitting on comma) his "data" doesn't have comma separation.

I'd say he C&P-ed googled code¹ to pretend own efforts! :-|

¹) at one point he also reads the fifth column and compares it with "Yes" ?!?

    Hmm, I don't think that's the case; he just didn't share his actual input data. I actually began coding a "clean" solution that he'd be able to use as a starting point, but stopped when I realized that there was no sample data to be found to test it against. Trying to reverse-engineer what it might look like would've been error-prone, and besides, like any good programmer, I'm lazy. (Which is not to say I'm a good programmer, mind you.)

    The data from INPUT and INPUT1 is just an example of output saved to a text file. you are quite right 'while INPUT1' i am doing a count on all unique values in 'column2' that have a 'YES' in 'column6'
