FileEnd
Then you could set you Inpute Record Seperator to $/="Batch"
and get each batch as a chunk, then process each chunk individually.
open IN, "somefile.txt";
$fileheadinfo = <IN>;
$/ = "Batch";
while ($batch = <IN>) {
next if $batch = "Batch"; #first line
@lines = split /\n/,$batch;
$batchinfo = "Batch" . shift @lines; #get batch info
pop @lines; #get rid of bar Batch at end
foreach $line (@lines) {
process($line)
}
}
