Counting values in a list 2
I know very little about PERL :(
I have list of millions of rows of data. All data values are separated by a comma
I have to count how many rows contain a specific data value
for example
101,102,143,145,146,149
101,102,143,145,147,148
101,102,143,145,147,149
101,102,143,145,148,149
101,102,143,146,147,148
101,102,143,146,147,149
101,103,143,146,148,149
101,103,143,147,148,149
101,103,144,145,146,147
102,104,144,145,146,148
102,104,144,145,146,149
102,104,144,145,147,148
from that sample list, I have to count how many rows have the value 103 for the second data entry, so for this list the number of rows with 103 in the second data entry would be 3
Could someone help me with a PERL script that I can run as a .pl file and will
1. open the file (filename: master.vim )
2. Count through all the rows and record the number of rows with the value at that data point - in the second column
3. write the recorded number of rows to another file ( count103.txt )
4. close master.vim and count.txt
Thankyou very much in advance
