Greetings good people. I have a log file with more than 10000 lines from which I want to extract all the lines starting with a certain word on to an array and then print the values.

Following is the string I want to search

~|TOTAL 24.1% 0.4%

Kindly note that I want the word "Total" and those 2 numerical values on to an element of the array as a single entry.(There are many entries starting with Total and I want all of them stored)I'm finding it hard to come along with the regexes :( Anyways following is what I have tried. Pardon me gentlemen I'm a learner so please try to help out.

my $SYS_HOME = "/x01/home";
my $LOG_FILE = $SYS_HOME."/ABC.log";
open (FH, '<', $LOG_FILE) || die "Cant open : $!";
while (<FH>) {
chomp;
my @FIGURE =~ /~|TOTAL|([\d]+/;
foreach (@FIGURE) {
    print "$_\n";
    }
}

Many thanks in advance.
