in thread A file parsing and 2D array/matrix problem.

Thanks for suggestions. This is what I have tried, but am not able to go past this.
my $file = "LIST"; open (FH, "< $file") or die "Can't open $file for read: $!"; my @hsa_sub = <FH>; for($x=0;$x<=$#hsa_sub;$x++) { $s=$hsa_sub[$x]; $sline=`cat siper_sub | grep -n $s`; `sed '/substrate/!d; /$s/!d;{n;p}' everything_hsa | grep -i produc +t | awk {'print $2,$3,$4'} >> prodlist` my $fil = "prodlist"; open (FH, "< $fil") or die "Can't open $fil for read: $!"; my @prod.$s.$x = <FH>; }

    I'd rather not use sed and awk WITHIN a perl program. As far as your problem is concerned, perl would provide all facilities required.
