Thanks for your reply. Actually that is actual code and output. The only thing missing is where i snatch the file name from command line.

 open IN, "<$ARGV[0]"
    or die "Could not open input file '$ARGV[0]' $!";

So i was reading into the push function but cannot seem to get it right. Not sure just where to place it. When i am loading the array via the substr function or printing it out?
