"Thank you for your guidance, I will be sure to go through all the material provided."

You're most welcome.

"Sorry I didnt specify te format I want, I typed it in after the edit and hit submit, guess it didn't accept it."

You can use the "preview" button as many times as you want prior to actually clicking the "create" button. I typically "preview" multiple times as I check links, fix typos, add clarifications, and so on.

After hitting "create" you can still make modifications (you'll find an "edit" link with your post); however, please read "How do I change/delete my post?" before doing so.

"The format I want is below and to place that format in multiple files : ..."

Unfortunately, that's rather vague and leaves us guessing what you really want. Brian started with three ipads (lowercase); now he has two (capitalised). Andrew had an ipad; now he also has an iphone. The year information is not shown. And ryan (originally lowercase, but perhaps that needs capitalisation) has disappeared entirely.

I suggest you attempt this yourself and, if you run into difficulties, bear those points in mind when posting a follow-up question. It would be useful to reference this thread in such a post (see "What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?" if you're unsure how to do that). And, if you didn't already know, following the guidelines in "How do I post a question effectively?" and "Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example" will get you better and faster answers (i.e. rather than responses which are requests seeking missing information or clarification of what was posted).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
