Guys, This is probably a really easy problem to solve for most of you. However, being new to Perl I am having all kinds of problems getting anything to work. I have a report file that has something like the following data in it:
BCG-011 ULTRASITE U WO 1 BC011 WO + 05823 00051 BTS-025 U WO 0 0 SNBXCASD005X RF + 3 TRX-001 U WO 713 0 117 MBCCH P 4 TRX-002 U WO 729 0 117 0 05823 00052 BTS-026 U WO 0 0 SNBXCASD005Y RF + 3 TRX-005 U WO 722 0 117 MBCCH P 3 TRX-006 U BL-TRX 731 0 117 8 05823 00053 BTS-027 U WO 0 1

What I need is for perl to parse out which TRX has BL-TRX status (TRX-006 in the above case) and which SNBX does it belong to (SNBXCASD005Y in the above case) and finally which BCG is it in (BCG-011 in the above case). I would like to generate a report that says something like:
BCG LOCATION TRX STATUS ------------------------------------------------ BCG-011 SNBXCASD005Y TRX-006 BL-TRX
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated...
A.N.C.
