I am very new to Perl and searched all over for code and help, but none of the codes I wrote works. I have a lot of subscriber files in a directory called subscriberdata
Each file (subscribername.txt) has the subscribername, telephone, email and language in the files separated by ","
I am trying to write a basic script that will read all the files in the subscriberdata directory and then produce ONE file (subscriber.dat) in the following format:
THE FIRST LINE NOT REALLY NECESSARY
subscribername,telephone,email,language
name,5555,test@test.com,english
name,48545,test1@test1.com,afrikaans
so that all subsribers information is in one file which I can then import into Excel
I know this is very basic, but I am not a programmer and just started with CGI. I am teaching myself and still at the very basics.
I would really appreciate help. Best regards David
