Hi, I have a text file that contains the follwoing that I want to print one line at a time. is it possible to print only the data between > < sequentiallly?

<Answer type="string">ServerName</Answer> <Answer type="string">10.10.10.11</Answer> <Answer type="string">Windows Server 2012</Answer>

output would be something like:

Commputer: ServerName IP Address: 10.10.10.11 OS: Windows Server 2012

This is what I have so far but it only prints out the entire lines at the same time:

#!/usr/bin/perl # open file open(FILE, "data.txt") or die("Unable to open file"); # read file into an array @data = <FILE>; # close file close(FILE); # print file contents foreach $line (@data) { print $line; }

Thanks

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
