Re: Is there any efficient way i can take out a specific column from hundreds of files and put it in one file?

Are you looking for split?
Perhaps something like the following:

my @columns = split /\s+/, $current_line;

Or possibly, to make the code shorter: `my $third_col = (split /\s+/, $current_line)[2];` [download] But that does not solve the issues raised by other monks about the original post lacking far too many details for us to suggest an improvement to some code that we have not seen.	[reply] [d/l]
