Re: How to extract certain range of text and display it?

in reply to How to extract certain range of text and write into another file?

Your most obvious problem is that there is no occurrence of Corry in the test data, only corry. And no, the two are not the same.

Another problem is that you use $1, but the regex before it doesn't use a capturing group that could fill $1.

A third problem is that the iteration variable is $word, but the regexes match against $_, thus have no chance to succeed. I'm pretty sure you get an uninitialized... warning from that. Didn't you? Or did you just ignore it? (hint: never ignore the warning).

    Hi, the problems you have mentioned are totally correct. I have correct the occurrence of  corry and get rid of $word. I can't figure out what variable should I match the section text.

      I can't figure out what variable should I match the section text.

      post the new code

        Here is the code I updated. Please check it. Thanks.
        use warnings; use strict; my $test; my @words; open(INFO,"<","testing.pl")||die"Can't open file:$!\n"; chomp (@words=<INFO>); close(INFO); foreach @words){ if(/^\$ NAME : corry/ .. /\.EON/){ $test=$1; print $test; } }
