Could we ReadtoArray to bring back two categories of information in one reference.Txt
EXAMPLE :
babla 2 (FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers)
and so on...
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers
FirstdataTXT SeconddataNumbers

ReadtoArray just reads into the array. You can then loop thru the array and parse it using getWord if you need more specific parsing.

readToArray textfile.txt myarray
That command would take line 1 in the file "textfile.txt" and save it as $myarray[1].
And it would take the 2nd line in the file and save it as $myarray[2].
And so on.

So if line 1 in the text file was "blob1 blob2 blob3", then you could use getWord to parse each word, like Sing said.

Follow?

Not sure, i got an answer from Vid and I decided to use 2 files for each information. But the best will
be to have one file with 2 types of information in each.
Example :

Blabla 1
Bloblo 3
BluBlu 7

$Cat[1] = "Blabla"
$Cat[2] = "Bloblo"
$Cat[3] = "Blublu"

$type[1] = "1"
$type[2] = "3"
$type[3] = "7"

2 Files :shock: :!: :?:

Up to you, but that's totally unecessary. You can use any number of methods to seperate your data into 'columns'. You can use Coma-Seperated-Values (CSV), or insert a TAB Character (#9 in Twx scripting). These things will get around the issues of not always knwing how many Words there are to 'get' (even though that initself isn't a big deal).

You might run into a big problem with continuity with your 2file method if one data file has X-number of Rows, and the second file has (X +/- n) Rows.

Right. A space separated list is the easiest, but if your data contains spaces then use a CSV. A CSV would take, eh, mebbe 3 extra lines to parse?

Seems to be a cool technique, but could you put an example to understand how to use it please.

If you would provide some actual data that you are trying to save and retrieve from files, then we'll be able to help you with actual code.
