Hi Experts,

I am executing unix command 'gunzip -c test.txt.gz |cut -f3 -d'|'|sort|uniq -c' and stroing the value in a variable, the zip file contains records as shown below:

ABC|123|CHECK|1|
DEF|456|CHECK|1|
GHI|789|CHECK|1|
JKL|101|KCEHC|2|
[download]

I have used the code as shown below, i am executing the unix commands and storing the value in a variable and from the results i am fetching only numeric value

my $r = `gunzip -c test.txt.gz|cut -f3 -d'|'|sort|uniq -c`;
my $c  = substr( $r, 6, -1 );
[download]

gives me this output:

3 CHECK
1 KCEHC
[download]

I am trying to fetch the number 3 from 3 CHECK and 1 from 1 KCEHC,i want store the numbers in a variable separately

I also to grep the CHECK - $r = grep /CHECK/, $r, it returns a 1

Experts any help on this, thanks and regards
