marto-

I apologize for being lazy with my posting and not thoroughly reviewing my code before putting it on here. I realize also that I was not very clear with my question. I know how to use the open function, but don't know how I would use it here. If my code looks like this:

foreach (@input2) {
        open (STDOUT, ">$outputfile");
        print $_ if m#$criterion#;
}

[download]

Then the output file will only contain the matched result of the final iteration of the foreach loop. My question, then, is where in the code I could place the open function so that the result of every iteration is printed in the output file.

Sorry to keep bothering you with this, and I will not ask any more questions regarding this code

Thanks, shravnk
