Managing arrays
Getting close now. But I'm sorry to be a pain. This print line ( "$record->[0]" is a text string to be printed as it was read in, hence the " " ) >>>> print "$record->[0]" . ($record->[1]*$convfact) ($record->[2]*$convfact) ($record->[3]*$convfact) . "\n"; still doesn't do the sums, I... -

Managing arrays
Thanks guys. Good advice. To be honest, I am not sure why I am splitting on the commas, because there are no commas in the input file ! But if I don't do that split (", "), the output is spewed out with the four items on each line concatenated into a single string (I'm aware that I can remedy... -
Managing arrays
Hi folks I am a noob at Perl, but I want to write a script that will convert x,y,z cartesian coordinates from atomic units to angstroms, the conversion factor is %convfact in the script (see below). First, here is one line of the array holding the coordinates. I want to return the line as it is...
