No, this isn't a homework but the final part of a script.

The result of my script is an array like this:

@array=(--, 0.0175, 0.0483, 0.0507, --, 0.0471, 0.0483, --, 0.0287, --)

the length of the array can be differ; depend by the input file

so if I print this array I obtain:

print @array;
--
0.0175
0.0483
0.0507
--
0.0471
0.0483
--
0.0287
--

Instead I hope to have:

0
0.0175"\t"0
0.0483"\t"0.0471"\t"0
0.0507"\t"0.0483"\t"0.0287"\t"0
[download]

So I tried to insert the array inside a variable and then split it into array

my $fileAverage = join "", @array;
$fileAverage =~ s/--\n/--0\n/g;
my (@matrix) = split('--', $fileAverage);
foreach my $lane (@matrix) {print "\t$lane";
}

but I obtain:

"\t"0
0.0175
0.0483
0.0507
"\t"0
0.0471
0.0483
"\t"0
0.0287
"\t"0
