Hi abhikalrt53,

Why not turn it into a real script?

$ perl -MO=Deparse -ane '$s = ""; foreach (@F) { /(\d+)-(\d+)/ and $2 
+- $1 >= 30 and $s .= " $1-$2" } print "$F[0]$s\n" if $s'

LINE: while (defined($_ = <ARGV>)) {
    our @F = split(' ', $_, 0);
    $s = '';
    foreach $_ (@F) {
        $s .= " $1-$2" if /(\d+)-(\d+)/ and $2 - $1 >= 30;
    }
    print "$F[0]$s\n" if $s;
}

With a bit of cleanup:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;

while (<>) {
    my @fields = split;
    my $s = '';
    for (@fields) {
        if ( /(\d+)-(\d+)/ && $2 - $1 >= 30 ) {
            $s .= " $1-$2";
        }
    }
    print "$fields[0]$s\n" if $s;
}

Hope this helps,
