Hi Monks,

I have a question about re-organising entries. Currently ,I have files with entries that look like this:

1    SP_85(IS33, qqq), SP_155(IS33eee)    spr_111(ISyyy33, qqq), spr_1
+71(IS33eee)
2    SP_83(S3 , jgjg), SP_32(IS33, jhdjdjd)    spr_113(Stty3 , jgjg), 
+spr_1881(IS33, jhdjdjd)
3    SP_78(3jmdsjkdej), SP_66(IShbdhdhd33)    spr_115(3jmhhggggdsjkdej
+), spr_1551(IShbdhdjjjhd33), spr_88881(Iyt33ff), spr_145411(Iddd3ff)
4    SP_77(3jmdsjkdej), SP_1485(Idhd33ff)    spr_116(3jmdhhhhhsjkdej),
+ spr_17781(Idhdhhtytyt33ff)

How do I re-organise them so that all entries with a similar name will be in the same column

Here is my desired output:

1    SP_85(IS33, qqq)    spr_111(ISyyy33, qqq)
1    SP_155(IS33eee)    spr_171(IS33eee)
2    SP_83(S3 , jgjg)    spr_113(Stty3 , jgjg)
2    SP_32(IS33, jhdjdjd)    spr_1881(IS33, jhdjdjd)
3    SP_66(IShbdhdhd33)    spr_115(3jmhhggggdsjkdej)
3    SP_66(IShbdhdhd33)     spr_1551(IShbdhdjjjhd33)
3     -    spr_88881(Iyt33ff)
3     -     spr_145411(Iddd3ff)
4    SP_77(3jmdsjkdej)    spr_116(3jmdhhhhhsjkdej)
4    SP_1485(Idhd33ff)    spr_17781(Idhdhhtytyt33ff)

Please bear in mind that I have hundreds of columns and thousands of rows

The code i have tried implementing so far:

my $columnFile = q{re-organized.txt};
open my $columnFH, q{<}, $columnFile
   or die qq{open: < $columnFile: $!\n};

my @results;
while ( <$columnFH> )
{
    my @cols = split;
    foreach my $idx ( 0 .. $#tests )
    {
    foreach my $subidx ( 0 .. $#{ $tests[ $idx ] } )
    {
        my @posns = split m{,}, $tests[ $idx ]->[ $subidx ];
        $results[ $idx ]->[ $subidx ] ++
           if scalar @posns == grep { q{z} eq $cols[ $_ ] } @posns;
    }
    }
}

close $columnFH
   or die qq{close: < $columnFile: $!\n};
