maikelnight has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, i want to get text from multiple files at a regex start until the end of file. It works for the first file, what means it shows the text from my regex until eof, but it doesnt work for the following files. It shows the full text. I am beginner and cant find out why. I believe its about the "unless" part which thinks all is after the first match!? My someone please help me out? Thanks.
my @textfiles = (); @textfiles = glob("*.txt"); foreach my $textfile (@textfiles){ open ( my $inf_fh, '<', $textfile ) or die "Can't open $textfile $ +!\n"; while (<$inf_fh>) { unless (1.../^Something/) { print $_; } } close($inf_fh); }

    I created several text files, some of them containing "Something", some of them not, and the code seems to work correctly. Can you show the SSCCE?

    ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
      Stupid me, it was an beforehand mistake as i used >>/append to put stuff in my files. I realized that content was correct with multiple files at first start ;-) Sorry...
