Hey guys, I'm working on a text parser. I grab the data from the file and push it into an array and then I foreach it, but I'm only looking for specific successive lines when I'm calculating the average. Here's an example. My data file is of this structure 
Jack
Student ID - 12445
Math Score - 45

Jill
Student ID - 234254
Math Score - 90

Jack
Student ID -12445
Math Score2 - 33

Jill 
Student ID - 234254
Math Score2 - 10

So basically as soon as my regex matches the name Jill or Jack. I want it to pick the score from the 3rd line, any command to add into the if loop? e.g 
if ($line ~= /Jill/) {
*pick the score from the sucessive second line*

This way I can average the scores for each student for different tests.

output = Jack Average 39

Jill Average 50
