Hey Guys

Another glorious day in scripting heaven, when all of a sudden a wild request appears. I need to create a script that checks two files together that have the same name but a different extension. i.e. (*.in) and (*.out)

So far I have managed to get the information I need from the *.in file but I have no idea how to check it against the information in the .out file.

Also I need to check that the file names(without the extension match)

This is my code so far: 
use strict;


my @files = <*.in>;
for my $file (@files)
{
    open my $read, '<', $file;
    open my $write, '>', "$file.log";
    
    my $scid;
    my @lines;
    
    while(<$read>)
    {
        @lines = split('', $_);
        if($. == 3)
        {
            $scid = substr $_, 72,6;
            print $write "$scid\n";
        }
    }
    #check where files match
    close($read);
}

At the moment it only prints the unique identifier from the *.in the file to a seperate file to check that this is correct. The identifier is A00000 (one alpha 5 numeric) and is the 72nd bit offset from the 4th line, in the *.in file. However is 2nd line in and the 28th bit across in the *.out file. Please help!
