I am a newbie in here and wanted to ask a question that I am not able to find its answer. I have a file which has couple letters as :
letters.txt :
@string1 10 letters
A H K Y M H O L H L
@string2 9 letters
H N U P W X L Y H
I am trying to create a file which will only have random numbers from 20 to 60 for each letter, for each string.
My expected output should look like :
output.txt:
@string1
29 27 56 43 39 40 36 48 59 38
@sting2
26 36 39 39 26 51 38 42 42
I have tried this code below:
open ($fh, '>', $fileToLocate) or die;
my $x = $minimum + int(rand($maximum - $minimum);
print $fh "$x\n";
close $fh;
And it creates only 1 random number in my $fh file, however I want to extract the number of letters in each string (written just before "letter" in identifier) and create a loop which will give the expected output. I have tried to this below to create 30 random numbers ranging between 20 and 60, however it did not work out :
my $x = join("", $minimum + int(rand($maximum - $minimum), ( 1 .. 30 ) );
my @Chars = ( 20 .. 60);
I am sorry if it is too much to ask, but I would very much appreciate if you show me a way to do it.
Thank you so much in advance..
