Hi all, I am struggling to write a program in which i have to read many lines and then stores the values in 2 different variables and then transfer them into sql. My output is as:
apple <= banana; cat := dog; elephant <= flag; and so on....
i want to store apple, cat , elephant.. in one register say as $1 and banana, dog, flag in another variable as $2. Then transfer the $1 into one column of table in Sql and $2 into another column of table. my code looks like..
while(<>) { if(/case .* is/) { if(/then/){ @words = split(/=/, $_); print "$_"; $sth->execute($_[0], $_[1]) or die $DBI::errstr; #even tried with @words[0] and @words[1]. }}
But am unable to get the desired output. Please help me... Many thanks in advance..
