I have two files and I want to merge the common lines as well as print the uncommon ones. I have written a code which is working but I would like to have some better way to do it. The code I have written is :
@files = @ARGV; $size = @files; open (FA, ">>comp.txt"); open (FH, @ARGV[0]); while ($seq = <FH>) { chomp $seq; @seq = split ("\t", $seq); $seqm = @seq[0]; chomp $seqm; open (FH1, @ARGV[1]); while ($seq2 = <FH1>) { chomp $seq2; @seq2 = split ("\t", $seq2); $seqm1 = @seq2[0]; chomp $seqm1; if ($seqm1 =~m/$seqm/) {$names=$names."\n".$seq."\t".@seq2[1]."\n"; $c=1; last;} else {$c=0;} } if ($c=="0") {$names=$names."\n".$seq."\n";} } open (FH, @ARGV[1]); while ($seq = <FH>) { chomp $seq; @seq = split ("\t", $seq); $seqm = @seq[0]; chomp $seqm; open (FH1, @ARGV[2]); while ($seq2 = <FH1>) { chomp $seq2; @seq2 = split ("\t", $seq2); $seqm1 = @seq2[0]; chomp $seqm1; if ($seqm1 =~m/$seqm/) { $c=1; last;} else {$c=0;} } if ($c=="0") {$names1=$names1."\n".$seq."\n";} } print FA $names."\n".$names1;
