The data you've shown below doesn't remotely resemble what you showed earlier. Smilie

What is the actual input you have and what is the actual output you want and what do they have to do with each other? And what shell are you using? Smilie

    seatsAvailArray=(`echo $seatsAvail | tr "  " "\n" `)
    totalSeats=${#seatsAvailArray[*]}

That's a dangerous use of backticks and useless use of cat.

This is faster and safer:

Code:
while IFS="" read LINE
do
        ...
done < filename.txt

This can be modified further, since read can do splitting by itself:

Code:
while IFS=":" read A B
do
        # $A iwill be "10", $B will be "A1 B1 D2 ..."
done < filename.txt

URI::URL(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       URI::URL(3)

NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base); $u2 = $u1->abs; DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the libwww-perl library. The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface: o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface. o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase". o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs. o URI::URL::strict(1) o $url->print_on method o $url->crack method o $url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || "/") o $url->netloc: same as $uri->authority o $url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings. o $url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters) o $url->params and $url->eparams methods o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase. o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase. o $url->frag: same as $uri->fragment o $url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords o $url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file. o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto URI o $url->groupart method for news URI o $url->article: same as $uri->message SEE ALSO
