Hi PerlMonks,

I did not figure out how to solve this question after take a look in the main discussion lists.

I have a data_file like this one:

regex1 - grab general informations about regex1

grab more informations on this line about regex1

...

grab more informations on this line about regex1

regex2 - grab general informations about regex2

grab more informations on this line about regex2

...

grab informations on this line

regex3 - grab general informations about regex3

grab more informations on this line about regex3

...

EOF

I'm using a do-until inside a while loop:

while<data_file> {

if(/regex1/) {
get some general informations about regex1

do {

get more informations in lines between regex1 e regex2

} until(/regex2/)
}
}
[download]

It works, but it returns to while loop in the first line after regex2. So, I cannot check for regex2 and get general informations about it. Thanks for any help.
