I have two text files I would like to open and read at the same time.
Whats the best way to do this?
I was think along these lines:
open (TESTFILE, <"somefile.txt")|| die "can not open file";
open (LOGFILE, <"my_other_file")|| die "can not open other file";
while (($line1 = <TESTFILE>) & ($line2 = <LOGFILE>))
{
# print the line from each file
print "$line1\n $line2\n";
}
close TESTFILE;
close LOGFILE;
I know the while statement is wrong,
Whats the best way, and most understandable way?
and is there a way to do this without loading a module?
Thanks
Denis
