Though I know it might not be the most efficient way of doing it, I've been instructed to use a flat, pipe-delimited, data file for a project I'm doing. Lets say, for the sake of arguing that the first column of data was a number index. Is there a convenient way with perl to jump down to a variable index number, and extract (or insert) the 'info' as it is in the place below?
1|...|...|..|info|..|
2|...|...|..|info|..|
3|...|...|..|info|..|
In the actual case, I'll be inserting and deleting data from various sections of the data file. But, first things first.
Thanks guys
