hi guys can anyone advise me on this piece of code.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $filename = "filet.txt";
my $emailRE='/(\b[\w\.@]+\b)/';
my @emails=();
my $email;
my $mail;
while (<>) #for each line in each file
{
@emails = (/($emailRE)/og); #get all the emails on this line
foreach $email (@emails)
{ print "$email, $.\n";
open(FILE, ">$filename") or die "Can't write to $filename: $!";
print FILE $email;
} # print them out
#close FILE;
}
So I am trying to extract data from a file that I use as an argument on the command line. When I print to the screen it shows the extracted information in "$email". I then open the file that I wanted to write to and write "$email" to it but it does not contain all the data that it should i.e. the information seen when I print screen has lot more than what my written file shows.
