Thanks a lot all of you guys

But I have to open the file from a script

Currently the code is below

Code:
 
open my $fd, "<", $file;
my $a = (split /\|/, scalar <$fd>)[0];
close $fd;

Thanks to Yazu

But how can I add the second line first column condition in the above code

I tried with
Code:
 
if($.==2)

No luck

Please help

Code:
open my $fd, "<", $file;
<$fd>; # skip the first line;
my $a = (split /\|/, scalar <$fd>)[0];
close $fd;

If you need some other processing you need read the whole line into an array or read lines in a loop.
