Hello Pearlie,

The following has some error in regular expression line, could you please rectify. That is how my program should be. Here, what I am trying to do is assigning the values of two columns from the text file to a1 and a2, and finally I want to print it on the screen. The following is the code. You were really helpful and understood my state of knowledge. Thanx. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
#use warnings;

open (GRAPH, "11.txt") || die "Can't open 11.txt: $!\n";
while ($line=<GRAPH>)
{
        if $line = /(\s+)(\s+)/$1, $2;
        {
                a1 = push(@a1, $1);
                a2 = push(@a2, $2);
                next;
        }
}
print @a1, @a2;
close GRAPH;
