I have multiple emacs/ASCII files named iron-Fe17-4.pro, iron-Fe17-4.2.pro,
iron-Fe17-4.4.pro. . . .iron-Fe17-9.2.pro in directory desktop/programs/data. Each file has columns of data separated by tabs (but below I wrote it with spaces), for example:

depth Fe1 Fe2 Fe3 Fe4 Fe5 Fe6 Fe7
1. 1.2e3 1.4e7 5.3e9 3.1e4 4.4e2 1.0e3 4.1e2
2. 1.1e4 1.4e6 9.9e1 8.6e6 1.9e-2 1.1e3 4.3e4

I want to put the number from the 3rd row, 4th column from each emacs/ASCII file into one (26-
row 1-column) array.

Could someone please help me write a code for this? Please leave in "trivial" lines too, for I have almost no Perl experience.

Thanks,

Max
