I am studying your program and one question I would like to ask you is the following. If the line does not match an MSISDN=value pair e.g. MSISDN=433336901235;, I would like to write to the line MSISDN=0 and then to continue processing the next line, but I am not certain how to do that? This scenario could also occur for other entries other than MSISDN but if I can understand how an example would work I could apply this later on to other parts of the code

Looking at the input file again as an example:-

<BEGINFILE>
<SUBBEGIN
    IMSI=231111400010332;
    MSISDN=433336901235;
.....
..
.
<BEGINFILE>
<SUBBEGIN
    IMSI=231111400010339;
                                  <----MSISDN is missing I would like 
+to write MSISDN=0 to the output file 
...
..
.

use strict;
use warnings;

my $line;
while (<DATA>) {
    if (/^\s*MSISDN=(\d+);/) {  
        print "$line\n" if defined $line;
        $line = $1 ;                    
    }
    if (/\s*CF=([\w-]+?-(?:NONE|\d+))/) {
        my $add = $1;
        $add =~ s{(\d+)$}{1/1/1/$1};
        $add =~ s{NONE}{1/1/1/0};       
        $line .=  ",$add";
    }
}
print "$line\n";

the output would look something like this

433336901235,....... additional entries

MSISDN=0,....... additional entries

Thanks you, graham
