Alright,
I'm new to
Perl so be gentle. Given the following script:
----
open(file, "<file.txt");
@lines = <file>;
close(file);
$var = print $lines[18];
----
So I'm printing line 18 of the file "file.txt". I now want the 5th column, minus the forward slash. The line looks like this:
TUV 1/ 3.2/ 4.5/ 3.1/
I tried doing:
print $var |
perl -pae '$_="$F[5]\n"';, but i get garbage.
thanks in advance.
