Now, I do not wish to open two file handles, write two lines to each, then close them a dozen times in my code. Is there a simple way, perhaps using a single line in Perl (but not in the CLI!), to send the same text to two differ...
Hello, I am reading a text file in C# and trying to save it to a SQL database. I am fine except I don't want the first line, which is the names of the columns, included in the import.

How do applications like DiffMerge detect differences in text files, and how do they determine when a line is new, and not just on a different line than the file being checked against? Is this something that is fairly easy to implement? Are there already libraries to do this? ...
Hi, I've got this macro code in Microsoft Office Word 2003 which reads the lines of a text file. The lines each represent a string value that I need to use later in the code.
