Hi monks, i found some excersises on inet when i was learning about regex the first have to match in a file this character "x" "the" or "The" and type in front of the line a number like "001" and so on, the scripts goes like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use scrict;
open(INFO,"file.txt");
$cont="001";
while(<INFO>){
      chomp();
      if ( /x|(t|T)he/ ) { print "$cont $_";$cont++ }
      print "\n";
}
close INFO;
