Here’s variation on trippledubs’ solution using the 3-dot form of the flip-flop operator:
#! perl use strict; use warnings; my $re = qr{^//\*+$}; while (<DATA>) { if (my $seq = /$re/ ... /$re/) { if ($seq > 1 && $seq !~ /E0$/) { print if m{^//\s*\S+}; } } } __DATA__ // useless comment Some Code //********************************************************** // //I need that text // And that also // //********************************************************** Some Code // useless comment //********************************************************** // More text //********************************************************** More code
Update: Changed print unless m{^//$}; to print if m{^//\s*\S+}; to filter-out non-comment lines.
Output:
1:25 >perl 1128_SoPW.pl //I need that text // And that also // More text 1:25 >
Hope that helps,
