Hello dbander,

Your solution unfortunately puts all data into the array. The OP will not be able to differentiate the data in order to create separate graphs.

Sample of code and output:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @histofeld = ();
open my $input_file, '<', 'data.txt' or die "$!";
while (my $input_buffer = <$input_file>) {
    chomp $input_buffer;
    my @data = split(',',$input_buffer);
    push @histofeld, @data;
}
close $input_file;

print Dumper \@histofeld;

__END__

~/PerlMonks$ perl test.pl data.txt 
$VAR1 = [
          '1',
          '5',
          '7',
          '8',
          '9',
          '10',
          '11',
          '3',
          '3',
          '5',
          '5',
          '5',
          '7',
          '2',
          '2',
          '2',
          '6',
          '7',
          '8',
          '9',
          '15',
          '17',
          '3',
          '4',
          '5',
          '6',
          '5',
          '7',
          '2',
          '3'
        ];

You should do something like that:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @histofeld = ();
open my $input_file, '<', 'data.txt' or die "$!";
while (my $input_buffer = <$input_file>) {
    chomp $input_buffer;
    my @data = split(',',$input_buffer);
    push @histofeld, [ @data ];
}
close $input_file;

print Dumper \@histofeld;

__END__

~/PerlMonks$ perl test.pl data.txt 
$VAR1 = [
          [
            '1',
            '5',
            '7',
            '8',
            '9',
            '10',
            '11',
            '3',
            '3',
            '5',
            '5',
            '5',
            '7',
            '2',
            '2'
          ],
          [
            '2',
            '6',
            '7',
            '8',
            '9',
            '15',
            '17',
            '3',
            '4',
            '5',
            '6',
            '5',
            '7',
            '2',
            '3'
          ]
        ];

Hope this helps, BR.
