Re^2: split file

When I ran this script, the output was actually the same as the DATA file. In addition, it results in the following warning: useless use of a variable in void context at sp_new_load_script.pl line 6 (referring to my %bills;) I can't quite figure out where it's going wrong. Any ideas? Thanks.

I just copied the code as posted and ran it using AS Perl 5.8.7 (815). It performed as expected. You could try adding `use diagnostics;` at the start of the code - it may give you more information about the warning. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for your help so far. I've got through the previous error and this code works fine with the data I've posted. I made some changes to reflect the actual data, but I now have the same problem where the output doesn't show up in the right order. This's my actual data file: Read more... (12 kB) I have spent much time on this but I still cannot have it working properly. Please help.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You need to select the bill number for $currBill. Your current regex match patterns don't include capture brackets so there is no meaningfull value in $1. Try something like these: `if (/^1010100.{17}(.{13})/) { } elsif (/^3010330.{17}(.{13})/) {` [download] DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply] [d/l]
