To extract substrings of given strings, use
substr. I used the concatenation operator
. combined with the assignment operator
=, see
perlop for details.
#! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $country = 'Pakistan';
my $province = 'Punjab';
my $region = 'Asia';
my $counter = 1;
my $sequenceid = substr $region, 0, 1;
$sequenceid .= substr $country, 0, 2;
$sequenceid .= substr $province, 0, 2;
$sequenceid .= sprintf '%07d', $counter;
$sequenceid = uc $sequenceid;
print $sequenceid, "\n";
To get a file path from the user, use Tk::FileSelect or Tk::getOpenFile.
