Hi PerlMonks Members!

First of all, this is the best perl site i have found on the net. I´m just a beginner perl coder. Any Problems/questions i had during programming scripts were solved by this site, and i got more expirienced too!
Go on like this!

I got anything coded by now, but with following i got a problem. Already tried several ways i found but always failed.

I just need to code a very little search/paste matches script.

open one database file, get each line, search for a match at current line, if yes, put line that matched in some variable, continue on next line...

the lines look like this

name|url|description #where '|' seperates them.

i think a part of code would look like


$file = 'database';
open(INF,$file);
@ary = <INF>;
foreach $item(@ary){

now search $item for matched text
if->succed { do something } else { go get next line}

}
close(INF);


It would be REALLY great if someone could help me!
Many thanks & greeting from Germany,

Stefan
