Hi, I have many files in this format: 
line 1
line 2
line 3
..
line 12
I need to read them into an array, which should look like this: 
line1 line2 line3 .. line 12 # content of file 1 
line1 line2 line3 .. line 12 # content of file 2 .. 
line1 line2 line3 .. line 12 # content of file x
I've started with the following code: 
foreach $member (@memberlist) {
    open(FILE, "$member.dat");
    lock(FILE);
    @members = <FILE>;
    unlock(FILE);
    close(FILE);

    foreach $line (@members) {
        push(@allmembers, $line);
    }
}

But this of course prints only all lines under each other. Can anybody tell me how to go on?

Thank you in advance for help
Karl
