I'm new to Perl Scripting. If this question is answered, please point me to the right thread.
As for my requirement, I need to grep two strings from a file and need to process them. I'm not able to do so. I cannot do split as they are separated by space. The file would look something like this --
FileName   FilePath   FileDir
FileName2   FilePath2   FileDir2
FileName3   FilePath3   FileDir3

So, I'll take FileName and put that in FileDir. I'll have to do this for the whole file.

Thanks, Partho

Update
