Re: Counting occurence of a list of word in a file

You have this structure in your code:

while my $text=<$testo>){
    ...
    $count += () = /\b$key\b/ig while <>;
}

The <> file handle is exhausted in the first run of the outer while loop, thus certainly not doing what you want. Why do you read from <> at all? Doesn't $text already contain an input line?

If I correct that I get this intresting output: `Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at prova.pl line 24, + <$testo> line 1.` [download] I really don't understand.	[reply] [d/l]
