hi The search pattern is between the search string "BIG_TREE" which is part of the create statement and the "----"

CREATE TABLE TEMP.BIG TREE
:
:
------
$i = "BIG_TREE"
           if ($_ =~ /CREATE TABLE TEMP.$i/){
             $read01 = 1;
                }
           $read01 = 0 if (/^----/) ;
  next if ($read01 == 1);
  next unless $read01;
        print "$_";

This part of the code is the problem
