Re^2: Extract table from a block of text

This works perfectly with the dummy data provided in the original post, but the regex to skip the END line might be a bit dangerous because real data might contain a 'E'. In addition, if the file is large, it might be better to do a last, rather than a next, when the line with the END tag is met.

Has nothing to do with the END marker! :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)}	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, you are absolutely right, I looked at it to quickly and confused `$_` and `$line`. Sorry for that silly comment.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
