perl -nlew ' print $1 $2 if /name=(\w+).*age=(\d+)/' filename
Can't open  print $1 $2 if /name=(\w+).*age=(\d+)/: No such file or di

Thank's It worked! I simply added the quotes and its showing data for both regex matches. Working code: `perl -nle ' print "$1$2" if /name=(\w+).*age=(\d+)/' filename` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
