in reply to Finding the last statement in string of atmost similar pattern

So you want the last non-empty line in your file? I am using a string instead of your file.

use strict; use warnings; my $string; # replacement for your file $string .= "abc($_) = xyz(".($_-1).");\n" for 1..10; my $line; for ( split /\n/, $string ) { $line = $_ if $_; } print $line,"\n"; # alternatively print +(split /\n/, $string)[-1],"\n";
