hi,

i suppose you have some file for which you wish to iterate over. so one possible way to go would be 


use strict;
#use warnings;
my @array;
my $count = 0;
my $count_big = 0;

while(<DATA>){
  chomp($_);
  my @arraytmp = split(' ',$_);
  if ($count == 1){for(1..4){shift(@arraytmp)}}
  $arraytmp[1]=~ s/M/000000/g if ($count == 1);
  push(@{$array[$count_big]},@arraytmp);
  $count++;
  $count = 0 if ($count == 2);
  $count_big++ unless ($count);
}


__DATA__
QR No N/A 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
QR 1 1 1 0 157M 23:09:15.190448 00:42:28.205336  00:40:04.086054

i think the code is straightforward and should work on large files.

also i would always import the changes after the split to array.

update:

i totally missed the point!


if ($arraytmp[1]=~ s/M//g && $count == 1){$arraytmp[1] *= 1000000}

but i admit that ikegami's solution is more elegant :)
