Hello
sreek3502,
If your input is somehow fixed in it's content the easiest thing is using the flip-flop operator (see flip flop at my library and in perlop):
while (<DATA>){
print if /SCHEDULE "DUMMY CHECK"/ .. /INTERVAL/;
}
If you just want to print 3 lines after a match (but notice you have empty lines that count! i used 6 lines..)
you can use or a count, as you already have done, or use the special variable $. (explained in perlvar ) that is line number:
my $switch;
while (<DATA>){
$switch = $. if /SCHEDULE "DUMMY CHECK"/;
if ( $switch and $. <= $switch + 6){
print;
}
}
As final note @data = $_; does not make muche sense for me: you want to split the line? dont forget also to chomp
