Perl Monks,

I currently have this simplistic script:

open( INFILE, "<$filename" )      || die "$!\n";
open( OUTFILE, ">>dataload.errs" ) || die "$!\n";

while ( $line = <INFILE> ) {
    if ( "***M" eq substr $line => 0, 4 ) {        
    print OUTFILE $line;
    }

    if ( "!!!" eq substr $line => 0, 3 ) {
    print OUTFILE $line;
    }

    if ( "@@@" eq substr $line => 0, 3 ) {
    print OUTFILE $line;
    }
}

close( INFILE );
close( OUTFILE );

This goes through and strips out the lines that start with certain characters. I am happy with that (although any pointers are gladly appreciated).

Now I want to put the total of lines that were written for each group at the end of the file like:

Total errors for @@@: 3
Total errors for ***: 5
Total errors for !!!: 9

Your wisdom and help will be appreciated!

Robert
