thanks so much!!! all working now.

thanks guys for your replies. Fish, I have run the program and am now getting output on the screen....great!! However, the list returned shows the numbers that DO have a corresponding R in the other file, rather than those without an R. Is it possible to easily modify? I havn't worked with...

I dont quite understand this line that you have proposed. Why is it placed inside the while loop for TFILE? The entries containing B are actually inside FILE1. Was this intentional? $hashofTfile{$_."B"}+=1; Just in case I didnt explain myself clearly. There are two files TFILE and FILE1. TFILE...

I've managed to rectify that error, there was a round bracket missing. However, the script runs but all I get is a blank screen and then it returns to the prompt again. Any ideas on why this is happening?

ive tried removing the brackets but no luck. any ideas? thanks in advance! :)

thank you paul. I have tried running but get syntax errors: syntax error at ./redwood3.pl line 39, near "){" line 39: if ( exists ($hashofTfile{$_}){ syntax error at ./redwood3.pl line 42, near "}" line 42: } Cant seem to correct this error.

Hi, I am working on a script that will allow me to read from two files, compare the entries and output invalid entries. TFILE contains entries such as: 11111_ 11112_ 11113_ 11234_ 12342_ FILE1 contains entries such as: 11111_A 11112_A 11113_A 11234_A 12342_A 11111_B 11112_B 11113_B 11234_B...

I have another issue that I have been trying to solve. If numbers.txt contains entries like: 123456_A 123456_B 123444_A 123444_B 123476_A 123476_B So bascially for every number there should be _A and _B entries in the file. If not then this should be printed to the screen. Therefore, this...

works perfectly. thank you so much!

When I run the program, after inputting the number I get a a blank screen. This is what I have so far.: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $input = <STDIN>; chop $input; open FILE, "numbers.txt" or die $!; while ( <FILE> ) { if ( $_ =~ m/^($input)*$/ ) { print $_; } } close FILE;

Thanks for the above program. But there is a problem with it as it only returns the number that it matches exactly. For example if I enter 123476 then it will only return this. But if I enter 123 then it does not return anything. Any ideas?

I am trying to write a script that will allow me to do the following: Consider a file called NUMBERS containing entries such as: 123456 123444 123476 345678 345677 The script when run will prompt the user to enter a number. Then it will look in NUMBERS file and display any numbers that...

thanks ill give it a try

THANKS! thats great. I came up with this and its similar to what you stated: SELECT Count(DCount("ID","tblRequest","[Booking Ref]")) AS [No of Projects] FROM tblRequest WHERE (((tblRequest.[Start Date Requested])<=[forms]![frmForm]![txtDate]) AND ((tblRequest.[End Date...

Many thanks ... Good query. It returns the list of activities for a given date and works. However, instead of a list, is it possible to return just the number of activities? So if there were two activites on that day then it would return just 2.
