In perl, how do you store multiple values from a single test file line into an array -

here couple of typical lines input file trying crunch:

icc2_dpd  2.7v  ma  0.006 0.006 0.006  ... ...  dpd_rel   2.7v  ma  0.062 0.054 0.040 0.065 0.037 0.066 0.071 0.073 ... ... ...

(the number of floats can vary) here started with:

if(/^(\w+)\s+(\d+\.?\d*)v\s+(\w+)/)  {     print $out "$1 $2 $3\n"; }

how capture , store floating point values array/hash given number of values varies. stuck on how manage termination of array.

well, in case, consider using split, separating fields on whitespace:

while (<data>) {     @vals = split;   # default split fine     print join(" ", @vals[3 .. $#vals]), "\n"; }

or if want store them, push them onto array, or use hash suitable key. like...

push @array,      [ @vals[3 .. $#vals] ];  # push array ref $hash{$vals[0]} = [ @vals[3 .. $#vals] ];  # use hash

the [ ... ] part creating anonymous array ref, can store line's values in single scalar slot.
