I have a text file consists of 20,000 lines. Each line has two parts separated by a tab. The first part is a string I call title and the second part is content. I am trying to parse each line of text into two parts ($title & $content) export the $content to a text file and associate each file name to it's equivalent $title + a sequential number starting from 1. Appreciate your help correcting my code.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my ($title,$content,$outdir,$filename,$count); $outdir ='D:/share/out'; open FILE, "D:/share/in/content.txt"; $filename="$outdir/$filename"; open (OUT, ">$filename"."$title"."$count") or die "can't open"; $count=1; while (<FILE>) { chomp; ($title, $content) = split("\t"); $count++; print OUT "$content"; } close (FILE); close OUT; exit;
