Just read and print the first line?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (my $line = <DATA>){
next if $line =~ /Port/;
print "$line\n";
last;
}
__DATA__
RNC RIP-IP Switch /Router Port
GURRNC1 172.16.1.2 GURSW1 1/6
GURRNC1 172.16.2.2 GURSW2 2/6
GURRNC2 172.16.3.2 GURSW3 3/6
GURRNC2 172.16.4.2 GURSW4 4/6
Output:
$ ./line.pl
GURRNC1 172.16.1.2 GURSW1 1/6
Now simply replace <DATA> with a real file handle. Hopefully this will be enough to get you on the right track. Your question is awfly vague though so it's difficult to know exactly what you need.
