Hi everyone,
I'm a hopeless hacker of Perl, and I tend to think in AWK-ish ways, simply
because I know awk loads better than Perl.
Awk has unfortunately taught me to think purely in terms of fields...
If I have a text file where the field separator is a new line and the record
separator is a blank line, like this:
blah blah blah
yeah yeah yeah
blah blah blah
yeah yeah yeah
etc...
is there a simple way to slurp all the first fields into one array and all
the second fields into another array.
I know how to do this with a simple text file with just one array, i.e.
open FILE1, $ARGV[0] or die "Can't open $ARGV[0]: $!\n";
chomp(@input = <FILE1>);
but can I simply change the second line in such a way as to split the input
into two separate arrays?
would I use split to do this?
Any hints or help would be greatly appreciated,
Dennis Warren
