Re^2: Printing ten characters succeeding a matching string (+ followup question)

Hello ww,

Thanks for your input. Though, I was able to compile it using the previous replies, I still has to create a header in the output file. The input file doesn't have header and it starts from the first line. All the input files I have worked before have some headings, so it was easy to reference it or add a new columnheader.

I am also thinking about getting the frequency of the ten characters. That is, if there are more than one matching ten character list, I would like to print it only once and on the second column, the number of times it was found.

if you want to count and calculate frquencies for the 10 characters after matches i'd sugest you make a hash, and populate it dynamically, with some: `if ($1) { say "\t Next 10 char after the match: $1"; $hash{$1}++; next; }` [download] just a slight modification... ;) update: Corrected typo pointed out by roboticus. Thanks ;)	[reply] [d/l]
