Hello!

First thing: your post is unreadable. Try putting <code></code> tags around the route summary text. The other thing: post your solution to this and let us review it. It's not fair if we're doing all the work :)

You can match the desired text in many different ways as long as they're unique for the data lines you want matched. A simple regexp can match these active lines:

while (defined(my $line = <STDIN>)) {
    if ($line =~ /^inet\((\d+) active/) {
        print $line;
    }
}
