Re: Remove array if data inconsistent

Perhaps you could discard any lines where the number of zeros exceeds some threshhold that you choose. This will not check for adjacent non-zero values but may be sufficient for your needs.

use strict;
use warnings;

open my $csvFH, q{<}, \ <<EOD or die qq{open: <<HEREDOC: $!\n};
JOBINIT,2,11,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

UNDFUSER,1,0,1,0,3,4199,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

READFILE:
while( <$csvFH> )
{
    chomp;
    {
        no warnings q{numeric};
        next READFILE if 15 <= grep $_ == 0, split m{,};
    }
    print qq{$_\n};
}

close $csvFH or die qq{close: <<HEREDOC: $!\n};

The output.

INSAUTH,5,7107,4,9343,5,7716,1,0,3,254,1,0,8,5655,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

I hope this is helpful.

Update: Fixed code formatting problem caused by a TAB and changed 0s to zeros for readability.

I've never used grep before and it seems to have been what I was looking for all along. I changed your script a little but this is what did. I added an option when I run the script to be $occurance because it's not going to be the same number every time. Thanks a ton for everyones help. `open IN, '<'.$inFlNm or die "Unable to open >$inFlNm< : $!\n"; READFILE: while( <IN> ) { chomp; next READFILE if $occurance > grep $_ != 0, split m{,}; print OUT qq{$_\n}; } close IN;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

open IN, '<'.$inFlNm or die "Unable to open >$inFlNm< : $!\n";
READFILE:
while( <IN> )
{
    chomp;
    next READFILE if $occurance > grep $_ != 0, split m{,};
    print OUT qq{$_\n};
}
close IN;
