Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: 

sub settings_smi_edit {
$storeline = $q->param('id');

open(FILE, "info/smileset.txt");
@file = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

foreach $i (@file) {
($number, $image, $name, $text, $used) = split(/\|/, $i);
if ($number eq $storeline) {
@numb = ($number, $image, $name, $text, $used);
}
}
}

Ok that I been trying this for a while, can't seem to get it. Ok after I get all taht in a while loop, say I edit @numb and I want to put it back into @file by the $storeline.

Get what Im saying
-Find it in @file
-Take that line
-Edit it
-Put it back in @file (updated)
-by i.d number

Also how would i *delete that certain array also

Thanks, Andrew

    You can find the line without splitting first:

    chomp @file;

my @matches = grep { $file[$_] =~ /^\Q$storeline|\E/ } 0..$#file;
no_match($storeline), return unless @matches;
duped_ids($storeline), return if @matches > 1;

my ($number, $image, $name, $text, $used) = split /\|/, $file[$matches
+[0]];
# do what you do modifying those vars

$file[$matches[0]] = join '|', $number, $image, $name, $text, $used;

rename '/path/to/info/smileset.txt', '/path/to/info/smileset.bak' or d
+ie $!;
open FLE, '>', '/path/to/info/smileset.txt' or die $!;
print FLE $_, $/ for @file;
close FLE or die $!;

    The &no_match and &duped_ids subs are up to you, they would probably log the error.

    Sorry bout that I just noticed I forgot a } I though it ment something in his code, until I saw end of the line, now does anyone know how to get rid of that certain array.
