Once again I appreciate your guys' help a lot I'm still fairly new to PERL ok here is the code with the changes made and also another bit of code I have Added
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $inFile = "UnSortReport.txt";
my $outFile = "SortedReport.txt";
open IN, "< $inFile";
open OUT, ">> $outFile";
my @not_sorted = <IN>;
print OUT "|CSED Form|OrderNumber|Date|Total Documents|Total Pages
+|\n";
@sorted = sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b) } @not_sorted; # alphabetic
+al sort
my $count = 0;
foreach(@sorted)
{
$frmType = substr $_, 1, 4;
if ($frmType eq "M729")
{
print OUT "$_";
$count ++;
}
else
{
print OUT "There were $count Monthly 729 runs\n";
}
}
$count = 0;
foreach(@sorted)
{
$frmType = substr $_, 1, 4;
if ($frmType eq "M737")
{
print OUT "$_";
$count ++;
}
else
{
print OUT "There were $count Monthly 737 runs\n";
}
}
$count = 0;
foreach(@sorted)
{
$frmType = substr $_, 1, 4;
if ($frmType eq "Q569")
{
print OUT "$_";
$count ++;
}
else
{
print OUT "There were $count Quarterly 569 runs\n";
}
}
close OUT;
close IN;
##############The code Bellow looks a the SortedReport.txt and checks
+ for duplicate lines and removes them if any#########################
+###
my $file = 'SortedReport.txt';
my %seen = ();
{
local @ARGV = ($file);
local $^I = '.bac';
while(<>)
{
$seen{$_}++;
next if $seen{$_} > 1;
print;
}
}
print "finished processing file.\n";
