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?
