I have the below file which I pass to a perl code. Usually the format is that 6th Field of the line starting with FILE is a number. But in some cases, the number falls to the next line. The number is important to me. I need to bring the number by replacing "\" to the line starting with FILE. I tried chomp and all. But didnot work.

FILE TEXT VAL 9999.999 08-jul-2014 \

Below is the latest code I tried. 
#! /usr/bin/Perl
my $file1 = "file.txt";
open(INOUT1,"<", $file1) or die "cant open output file ";             
+   
            foreach $line(<INOUT1>)
                    {
                    #chomp $line;

                    if ($line =~ /\\/){
                        $line =~ s/\\\n//;
                        if ($line =~ /\s+/){
                        $line =~ s/\s+//;
                        push(@newlines,$line);
                        }}
                        }    
                                          foreach $linw(@newlines){
                        if ($linw =~ m/^FILE /)
                              {
                          print $linw,"\n";
                          next;
                          }
                           }
