Reading 2-D Array from file handle
|
Can't Post

I have a script that works fine when the data is stored in the same file as the script. The data is a 2-D array. because the file is quite large, I stored it in a seperate .txt file to read only from the script. But the script does not 'see' the data as a 2-d array, as it can't access specific elements. I have scaled it down to show you what I mean: Here data in ray.txt [1,10,100,"a",5,2], [2,10,100,"b",5,2], [3,10,100,"c",5,2], [4,10,100,"d",5,2], [5,10,100,"e",5,2], Here is the Script that reads from it: $TMP='c:/scripts/ray.txt'; open (FILE,$TMP) | | die "cannot open file for read"; while (<FILE> ) { push(@RAY,$_);} close FILE; #test if array has been created. print "@RAY\n"; #prints OK $num=scalar(@RAY); #returns 5 print "$num\n"; $row=($RAY[1]->[3]);#does not work print "$row\n"; my $var=($RAY[1]->[2]);#does not work print "$var\n"; The exact script works OK if the data is in the same file as the script, once the data is read, the script should work as normal??right?
