I would not use grep in this way.
Better would be to process the input lines one by one and push a result if there is one. The code my @lines=<QUEUES>; and the grep code are both "foreach loops". Only one loop over the input lines is needed.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my @queue; while (<DATA>) { push @queue,$1 if (/count=\s*(\d+)/ and $1 != 0); } print Dumper \@queue; =prints: $VAR1 = [ '3079' ]; =cut __DATA__ Host 'server02' connected ============================================================ Hostname: 'server02' count= 0, delivering= 0, Queue=opr_action_launch_queue count= 0, delivering= 0, Queue=queue/alert_engine_notificat +ion count= 3079, delivering= 0, Queue=or_event_queue count= 0, delivering= 0, Queue=recipient_notification count= 0, delivering= 0, Queue=queue/alert_engine_alert count= 0, delivering= 0, Queue=failed_recipient_notificatio +n
