Dear Monks,

I would like to concatene data from two files (excel csv files). However, I would like to concatene only a part of them.

I have two files.

Name_1;Name_2 1;2 3;4
Name_1;Name_2 5;6 7;8

I have made the script

use strict; use diagnostics; use warnings; my $infile; my @FILES = glob('file_*'); my $outfile = "outfile.csv"; open(OUTFILE, ">$outfile"); foreach $infile(@FILES){ open(INFILE, "<$infile"); while (my $line = <INFILE>){ print OUTFILE $line; } close INFILE; } close OUTFILE;

The result is:

Name_1;Name_2 1;2 3;4 Name_1;Name_2 5;6 7;8

I would like to have only

Name_1;Name_2 1;2 3;4 5;6 7;8

Could you give me some advice ? Thanks a lot
