Hi

I am very beginner of perl. I have a large data(around 10,000 columns and 13 rows) in a file with following kind of data: Below is the head -6 lines of data:

A B C . id “ABS0056”; D; E; F; G; name “SAM”; H; I; J; K;

A B C . id “ABS0059”; D; E; F; name “JOE”; G; H; I; J; K;

A B C . id “ABS0060”; D; E; F; G; name “MARY”; H; I; J; K;

A B C . id “ABS0057”; D; E; F; G; H; name “BILL”; I; J; K;

A B C . id “ABS0065”; D; E; name “RONIE”; F; G; H; I; J; K;

A B C . id “ABS0061”; D; E; F; G; name “STEPHAN”; H; I; J; K;

I want my output in following data format:

id “ABS0056”; name “SAM”;

id “ABS0059”; name “JOE”;

id “ABS0060”; name “MARY”;

id “ABS0057”; name “BILL”;

id “ABS0065”; name “RONIE”;

id “ABS0061”; name “STEPHAN”

I have tried using code as below: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my$file=shift(@ARGV);
my%aa=$_;

open(FILE,'<',$file);
while(<FILE>)
{
    if($_=~/^# id:/ || $_=~/^# name:/)
    {
        print $_;
        my$entry=<FILE>;
        print $entry;
        print %aa;
    }
}
close FILE;
