Morning Guys

I am pretty new here, tyring to learn as I go.

I have a lil project I am trying to setup

Basically : below is a piece of the file

Has three fields Seperated by ~

6081703039~1~My Own Company
3081709039~1~DeweyCheetham&Howe
9081710039~1~One Bad Firm
2081757039~1~IRSUSUCK
1082445039~1~

Basically I need the file to only show the Field that has all data

I am new so not sure if my syntax is correct

You haven't shown any syntax. How can we help you fix your syntax (if
indeed it is broken) if you don't show it?

If field 3 is blank then don't show?

Can anyone help me write a Perl script to acocmplish this ?

Sure. We can indeed help. Best place to start would be by showing
what you have so far, so that we can guide you towards improving and
repairing it.

In the meantime, here's a brief pseudo-code of what I gather you want
to do:
read a file line by line
for each line,
obtain the fields separated by hyphens
if the number of fields equals 3
print the line to a new file
endif
endfor
replace the old file with the new one
