Hello Monks, I have a quick question. I am using
@GetServiceList = `grep ^[a-z] ./sub/100087.txt`; chomp @GetServiceList; print join (", ", @GetServiceList);
in order to print a list of services displayed in a text file. The text file contains text on each line, for example...
spray sendmail crond
Currently, when I print the array, it prints:
spray, sendmail, crond
This is fine, unless the text file contains a large number of elements, in which it will cut off part of the element that touches the edge of the terminal. How would I limit the elements per line to be printed at say...7? I can't seem to find a straight forward answer to this despite lots of Google searching. Thanks in advance.
