Hi, I have a file something like this: which is the input to my script

Im trying to read this file, split and use the numbers and text as separate fields.



Im doing this to insert these fields as values in an SQL table using mysql.

However im not sure as to how to proceed with it,

the answer is:

open(FILE, 'filename');
@lines = <FILE>;
chomp @lines;
close FILE;
