output in separate files	Can't Post

Hi,

How can I get three output files? outfile1.txt for the first time of the loop,
outfile2.txt for the second time of the loop
and outfile3.txt for the third time of the loop. Thank you!!!

David

Here's the program:

$tall = 'fruitfile2.txt';

open(OUT, '>outfile.txt');

open(TREES, "<$tall") or die "Couldn't open the fruitfile2.txt file for writing. !\n";

while (<TREES> )
{
push @fruits,$_;
}
close(TREES);

$prefer = 'testfile.txt';
open(LEAF, "$prefer") or die "Couldn't open the ". "testfile.txt file for writing.\n";
@fileArr = <LEAF>;
close LEAF;

for ($i=0; $i<=2; $i++){
foreach (@fileArr){
chomp;
($tmpStr= $_)=~ s/fruits/@fruits[$i]/g;
print OUT "$tmpStr\n";
}
}

fruitfile2.txt:
big red apples
large juicy oranges
small firm peaches

testfile.txt:
I like to eat fruits. I think fruits are delicious.
How many fruits do you want?
I like this line to be printed too.

Hi

This code will do what your asking for:

$prefer = 'testfile.txt';
$tall = 'fruitfile2.txt';

open(TREES, "<$tall") or die "Couldn't open the fruitfile2.txt file for writing. !\n";
@fruits = <TREES>;
close(TREES);

open(LEAF, "$prefer") or die "Couldn't open the ". "testfile.txt file for writing.\n";
@fileArr = <LEAF>;
close LEAF;

open(ONE, '>outfile1.txt');
foreach (@fileArr){
chomp;
($tmpStr=$_)=~ s/fruits/@fruits[0]/g;

print ONE "$tmpStr\n";
}
close(ONE);

open(TWO, '>outfile2.txt');
foreach (@fileArr){
chomp;
($tmpStr=$_)=~ s/fruits/@fruits[1]/g;

print TWO "$tmpStr\n";
}
close(TWO);

open(THREE, '>outfile3.txt');

foreach (@fileArr){
chomp;
($tmpStr=$_)=~ s/fruits/@fruits[2]/g;

print THREE "$tmpStr\n";
}

close(THREE);

Hi Cure,

Thanks! Actually, I was looking for a way to have the three files created automatically. If there was a need for 100 separate files then the way you have it would be very tedious. I guess I was not clear in my question.

Can you take another look?

David
