in reply to regex on previous lines
As usually, there are more ways how to do that. For example, if you are in a *nix environment, you can tac your file and process it from the last line. Or, you can remember the last two lines in case you want to process them:
my @lines; while (<>) { push @lines, $_; shift @lines if @lines > 3; } if ($lines[2] =~ $regex1) { if ($lines[1] =~ $regex2) { if ($lines[0] =~ $regex3) { # Do your work here. } } }
