hello monks,
I am new to perl and trying to do the following , I have an output file that looks like this :
Server: win1 ID: D: Space: 6496911360 Server: ux22 ID: D: Space: 7973826560 Server: del2 ID: U: Space: 7973228544
I need to open and read that file and then verify the space , if the space is less than 4 Gig , then I need to modify the file by putting a flag next to that line somthing like a warning message:

I am trying the following right now:
open (INPUT, "data") || die "couldn't open the file!"; foreach $line (<INPUT>) { ($SERVER, $Drive, $SPACE) = split(/:/,$line); } close(INPUT);
How do I compare space, and modify it within the file , I need to skip the one above 4 Gig?
thanks
