G'day Ganesh Bharadwaj1,

Below is my take on a solution. I did some additional testing as follows (all successful):

  • I originally used your data and got your expected output.
  • I then added "test 1" and got your expected output again.
  • I then added "test 2a" and "test 2b": your expected output again.
  • I then added "test 3": your expected output again.
  • I then added "test 4": your expected output PLUS the RRRRR line at the end.
#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; my ($skip, @buf); while (<DATA>) { if ($skip) { $skip = 0; next; } if (/XXXXX/) { @buf = (); $skip = 1; } else { push @buf, $_; $skip = 0; } if ($. > 1 && @buf >= 2) { print for @buf[0 .. $#buf - 1]; @buf = ($buf[-1]); } } print for @buf; __DATA__ XXXXX - additional test 1 PPPPP XXXXX is my name YYYYY KKKKK UUUUU BBBBB CCCCCC XXXXX is what I play KKKKK NNNNN ZZZZZ - additional test 2b XXXXX - additional test 2a QQQQQ - additional test 3 RRRRR - additional test 4

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
