Hello arblargan, and welcome to the Monastery!

Assuming your “words” are separated by whitespace within each line, the following should do what you want:

use strict; use warnings; OUTER: while (my $line = <DATA>) { my @words = split /\s+/, $line; for (@words) { next OUTER unless /^0{7}\d$/; } print $line; } __DATA__ 00000000 00000001 00000009 00000006 FFFFFFFF 00000007 6C163512 00000000 00000008 00000003 00000004 01020102

Output:

17:21 >perl 1786_SoPW.pl 00000000 00000001 00000009 17:22 >

Hope that helps,
