counting paragraphs in text file
- by robjez
I need to create perl code which allows counting paragraphs in text files. I tried this and doesn't work:
open(READFILE, "<$filename")
or die "could not open file \"$filename\":$!";
$paragraphs = 0;
my($c);
while($c = getc(READFILE))
{
if($C ne"\n")
{
$paragraphs++;
}
}
close(READFILE);
print("Paragraphs: $paragraphs\n");
