in reply to ascii manipulation in perl

I meant to post this on the main thread.

I grabbed a few lines of the file:

090071905090405611071905001029842000281253P0223P0504011 80017
090071905090405611071905001029842000291253P0223P0504011 80007
03007190519912660000739900000026500
03007190519912660000839900000011500
040071905453901800xxxxxx x xxxxxxxx M4000
040071905453901806xxxxxx xxxxxxxx F4131
05007190545393434503187100
05007190545393963405187100
06007190545337000380199516129001399002650
06007190545337182980240356129999399013784

There are many more record types. By record types, I mean by the first three characters of each line. This is why I had meant to place into seperate file for manipulation.

thanks

    You really should spend a few minutes reviewing some of the Tutorials. I know your on a tight timeline but it will most definatley take longer if you don't know what your doing and no degree of advice will suffice. So unless someone is willing just to do the work for you, I'd suggest reading the following:

    The Basics
    Basic Input and Output
    File Input and Output
    String matching and Regular Expressions

    I know this seems like alot to go through, but I'm sure you can get through it in less than an hour.

    Then when you have enough understanding you can ask more specific questions that I'm certain the Monks here will be happy to help you with.
