#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; while (defined (my $x= <DATA>)) { chomp $x; if ($x =~ /^JOB::/) { print $x, "\n"; } elsif ($x =~ m/^Something\s*$/) { print "~~Something~~ ", $x, "\n"; } else { print "~~Something Else~~ ", $x, "\n"; } } =prints JOB::HEREISASTRING ~~Something~~ Something ~~Something Else~~ StringA ~~Something Else~~ StringB ~~Something Else~~ StringC ~~Something Else~~ StringD ~~Something Else~~ Something Else ~~Something Else~~ StringE ~~Something Else~~ StringF ~~Something Else~~ StringG ~~Something Else~~ StringH JOB::HEREISANOTHERSTRING ~~Something~~ Something ~~Something Else~~ StringI ~~Something Else~~ StringJ ~~Something Else~~ StringK ~~Something Else~~ StringL ~~Something Else~~ Something Else ~~Something Else~~ StringM ~~Something Else~~ StringN ~~Something Else~~ StringO ~~Something Else~~ StringP =cut __DATA__ JOB::HEREISASTRING Something StringA StringB StringC StringD Something Else StringE StringF StringG StringH JOB::HEREISANOTHERSTRING Something StringI StringJ StringK StringL Something Else StringM StringN StringO StringP
