Re^2: trying to read files in @ARGV but getting GLOB error! :(

Oh! Good to know, thanks so much. That'll be so useful for the future. And no, you're right, I don't want to push the $i-file repeatedly, that was a mistake.

Thank you so much!

There is something strange happening though, I think it's because there is something wrong in this bit

for ($i=1; $i<=3; $i++) {
  open $input1, '<', "$path\/File-$molec1-cluster$i.out" or die $!;
  push @ARGV, "$path\/File-$molec1-cluster$i.out";

  for ($j=2; $j<=3; $j++) {
  open $input2, '<', "$path\/File-$molec2-cluster$j.out" or die $!;

  push @ARGV, "$path\/File-$molec2-cluster$j.out";

When I print the contents of the files, the result is completely chaotic. I would expect the printing to be sequential like so

1st print file molec1-$i=1

2nd print file molec1-$i=2

3rd print file molec1-$i=3

4th print file molec2-$j=2

5th print file molec2-$j=3

but in my case the end result is a combination of $i-file with only the second option of $j-file repeated ($j=3), while the $j=2 is completely ignored.

What i'm getting is:

1st print file molec1-$i=1

2nd print file molec2-$j=3

3rd print file molec1-$i=2

4th print file molec2-$j=3 (repeat)

5th print file molec1-$i=3

6th print file molec2-$j=3 (repeat)

I don't understand why this pattern appears...?

Hi, it does look odd. The only thing I see is missing } sub-ending brackets in your code, maybe that missing sub closure is important. As always, a small-self-contained working example would be useful here. Because usually, when you need to make an example, you see the error yourself.

No, the script has no syntax errors if that's what you mean by } sub-ending bracket missing? I just copied and pasted it quickly to show that I think this is where the problem lies. I still can't figure it out and it's been hours. I'll be posting an updated version of the script with an output included, I really can't figure this out :(	[reply]

Please pay heed to zentara's advice about the Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example: "a small-self-contained working example would be useful here. ... usually, when you ... make an example, you see the error yourself." Even if you never present this to anyone else, I know from personal experience that it can be enormously useful in debugging. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l]

My other thought is maybe you have hyperthreading enabled on a multiple core computer, and it's gone haywire. :-) My suggestion is to start printing out $i and $j and your @array and your @ARGV at key points in the code and see what happens as it loops thru.
