Re^5: How to extract certain range of text and display it? by soonix (Chancellor) on Oct 15, 2013 at 08:44 UTC
For example, I need to extract the $ NAME: sandy until $$.TO and then join with the contents inside $NAME: patrick which is start from G1 until $$SRU. Your sample data seems to indicate that the data for each name starts with "$ NAME" and ends with a line ".EON", which is the base of our suggestions until now. The quoted sentence seems to indicate something different. So you should clarify: how do you recognize which line belongs to which name (via $ NAME and .EON, or different)? how do you determine which part of those lines for a particular name you are interested in? [Update: additional question] do you need to preserve the order of these entries/lines?	[reply]

Do you mean this one? `use Modern::Perl; { local $/ = ".EON\n\n"; while ( my $record = <DATA> ) { say "I found: $record"; # ... now do something with $record ... } }` [download] use Modern::Perl prompts to give error.	[reply] [d/l]

"use Modern::Perl prompts to give error." Something like this: `Can't locate Modern/Perl.pm ...` [download] If so, install the module: `cpan Modern::Perl` [download] If this isn't the problem you're going to have to be more specific.
