Re^4: Seperating individual lines of a file

I am trying out your code; I replaced the $listfile with $ARGV[0].

#!/usr/bin/perl


# set $listfile to some constant, or to $ARGV[0] (and supply the file
#+name
# as a command-line arg when you run the script)

my %outfh;  # hash to hold output file handles

open ORIGFILE, $ARGV[0] or die "$ARGV[0]: $!";
while ( <ORIGFILE> ) {
    my ( $host, $data ) = split " ", $_, 2;
    if ( ! exists( $outfh{$host} )) {
        open( $outfh{$host}, ">", $host ) or die "$host: $!";
    }
    print $outfh{$host} $data;
}
# perl will flush and close output files when done

But this produces a syntax error of

Scalar found where operator expected at ./nocsplit.pl line 17, near "}
+ $data"
        (Missing operator before  $data?)
syntax error at ./nocsplit.pl line 17, near "} $data"
Execution of ./nocsplit.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

It seems to not like the

print to $outfh{$host} $data;

There may be a more elegant solution, but graff's code works if you change the line: `print $outfh{$host} $data;` to: `my $fh = $outfh{$host}; print $fh $data;` [download] dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`print $outfh{$host} $data;` [download] In addition to Not_a_Number's solution by means of assigning to a temporary variable, another possible one is that given in perldoc -f print: `print { $outfh{$host} } $data;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
