Would that work if i had different files with different content? niseus: That's exactly why hippo presented his solution in the Test::More format: so that you can add all the extra test cases (content) you feel you need (and you're encouraged to add many). See How to ask better questions using Test::More and sample data. The `Test::More` module family is very useful in general development. Testing with different files I leave to you to work out.

Are you on MSWin? Quoting is different there, single quotes don't work. Have you used copy/paste or retyped the command? Also note that @name doesn't work on PerlMonks.

when i try your line i just get Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1. Im probally doing something wrong but im just beginning with pearl so bear with me :) If you are using Losedows you will need to change the surrounding single quotes to double quotes and escape all the double quotes in the Perl. You may find it easier to put the solution in a file. One liners in Losedows are more awkward than in ux. Regards, John Davies	[reply]

Would that work if i had different files with different content? Yes, but only if the different content follows the same pattern of course. Feel free to expand `@rec` with your extra data sets and see.	[reply] [d/l]
