in reply to Matching columns between files
Have you consider doing a line-by-line comparison, if you have large files you might end up consuming too much memory for storing an array with the contents. Here's an example
use strict; use warnings; open my $fh1, '<', 'file1'; open my $fh2, '<', 'file2'; while ( defined( my $line1 = <$fh1> ) and defined( my $line2 = <$fh2> +) ) { chomp($line1); chomp($line2); my @values1 = split( ',', $line1 ); my @values2 = split( ',', $line2 ); print "$values2[4]\n" if ( $values1[0] eq $values2[1] and $values1[1] eq $values2[2] and $values1[2] eq $values2[3] ); }
