All,
What I need is that if I was parsing some data and there is no value
(spaces) it should print ***** so that the next thing I will print after
it would not be printed out immediately.
Ex. of output I want
VISUALID XXXX
123456 1023
123457 1354
**** 1789
This is what happens if no value is found
VISUALID XXXX
1789
SCRIPT as follows:
while ($_=<SUMM>) { ##file is open###
{
if (/_visualid_(.*)/) {
{
if ($length < 2); { ##what im
doing is that if the string length is less than 2 print ***)
print "***\t";
}
else {
print "$1\t";}
}}
if (/_xxxx_(.*)/) {
print "\t$1_";
}
thanks,
Nix
