in reply to Getting the next line after a match

Ignore lines until you see Buffers, then read in another line:

while(<DATA>){ next unless /^Buffers/; my $line = <DATA>; print $line; } __DATA__ 100000 # Event Snoopy Snoopy Replay Replay Current Current Buffers ID Position ID Position ID Position 1024 1667721 2975e7c 1667717 6d44e10 1667721 2982000 11111 Buffers Another good buffer line
