hi I am having a problem with the script. I cant seem to make the script read between the patterns. Sample DATA: CREATE TABLE TEMP.BIG_TREE ; : : ------- I want the script to read the file from 'CREATE TABLE' to the '-----' 
my @array1 = `cat $ARGV[0]`;
my @array2 = 'cat $ARGV[1]';

        my $read01 = 0;
#$i = 'BIG TREE'

my $read01 = 0;
foreach my $i (@array1){

             for(@array2){
        chomp($i);
        $read01++ if $read01;
              s/./ . /g;
           if ($_ =~ /CREATE TABLE TEMP.$i/){
             $read01 = 1;
                }
           $read01 = 0 if (/^----/) ;
  next if ($read01 == 1);
  next unless $read01;
        print "$_";
       }
   }
