1st, 2nd and 3rd column is a normal date and the 4th colum is the ID.

So, the input for my program will be the range of the From Month and Year to To Month Year. Something will be like this

From Month :
From Year :
To Month :
To Year :

So the script will check on the data to get the ID at the 4th column and pass the ID only into another file for another process checking.

Thanks and BR.

Sorry if i missed out my need here

Well.. and i really need the expert here to help me out on the perl coding for the date range checking as stated on my first post.

Thanks

The idea is that you show us what you've tried so far, and we help you to fix it. It's not a free coding service...

zamri72,

students are not allowed to post on this forum. I don't know if you are a student and if that is work associated with your education but if it is please do not post here. If its not, then post what code you have written to try and solve your programming requirments, even if it does not work.
