I thought I posted this successfully, but goofed up. Many thanks for those that answered the last question - quite helpful. What I'm trying to do now (w/ the same script) is split a line, and take the 0th & 9th fields and make them one value in an array. For simplicity sake, the 0th value has a time stamp, and the 9th has the ID. The file I'm digging through isn't in chrnological order, unfortunately, so I want it to look like
ID#TIMESTAMP.
The following...
while ( $line = <IN> ) { push @array, ( split /\s+/, $line )[9, 0]; }
produces
ID# TIMESTAMP
Anyway to put them on the same line?
