Thank you for the help. Modified my code as:
my %seen; $/ = ""; while (<>) { chomp; my ($key, $value) = split ('\t', $_); my @lines = split /\n/, $key; my $key1 = $lines[1]; $seen{$key1}[Key] //= $key; $seen{$key1}[Sum] += $value; } my $file_count = @ARGV; foreach my $key1 ( keys %seen ) { if ( @{ $seen{$key1} } >= $file_count) { print join( "\t", @{$seen{$key1}}); print "\n\n"; } }
but please help me also to have the name of the files in which a particular read exists. I mean with the total count it also tells me in which files it is present.
