Discipulus solution above is very elegant. Here's the correction of the error in your script:

use strict; use warnings; my $file = "input.txt"; my @data; open (IN,"<","$file"); my $count = 0; while (<IN>) { $count = 1 if /SCHEDULE\s"(DUMMY\sCHECK)".*/; if ($count >= 1 and $count <= 6) { - @data = $_; - print @data; + $_ = <IN>; + print; $count++; } }

You did not read the next line off your input file descriptor.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
