Hi,
I have thousands of files with the following format:
0.642375 125 SIL
1.0705 125 ઔર્
1.3651875 125 આત્
1.519875 125 મ

7.2140627 125 સે
7.478125 125 હટ્
7.622625 125 જા
7.956125 125 ઓ
8.192375 125 SIL
8.252 125 SIL
8.464 125 SIL
8.706 125 SIL
... and so on
Also, the number of lines are not same in all the files. I just want one line with SIL at the end (shown in red) and wish to get rid of the others following it.
Can anyone help me how can I resolve this using perl? I'd be great if i can input all the files at a time process it and save it back with required lines. I am acquainted with file handling. All I seek help for is the formatting (i.e., getting rid of those extra lines). Thank you.
