how about something like this...

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $current; my %data; my $ok; while (<DATA>) { next unless ( /^checking image file/ ... /^checking files file +/ ); if ( /^checking image file <(.*?)>$/ ) { # first line match $current = $1; $ok = 1; # set our file and + status next; } if ( /media does not exist/ ) { # a bad line $ok = 0; next; } if ( /^checking files file/ ) { # last line match $data{$current} = $ok ? "ok" : "bad"; } } END { foreach my $k (sort keys %data) { print "$k is $data{$k}$/"; } } __DATA__ checking image file <NT-Development_1024371283_FULL> >copy 1 frag 1 media CC0202 host netbackup2: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 2 media CC0202 host netbackup2: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 3 media CC0202 host netbackup2: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 4 media CC0202 host netbackup2: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 5 media CC0202 host netbackup2: media does not exist checking files file <NT-Development_1024371283_FULL.f> checking image file <NT-Development_1024371284_FULL> >copy 1 frag 1 media CC0202 host netbackup3: ok >copy 1 frag 2 media CC0202 host netbackup3: ok >copy 1 frag 3 media CC0202 host netbackup3: ok >copy 1 frag 4 media CC0202 host netbackup3: ok >copy 1 frag 5 media CC0202 host netbackup3: ok checking files file <NT-Development_1024371284_FULL.f> checking image file <NT-Development_1024371285_FULL> >copy 1 frag 1 media CC0205 host netbackup4: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 2 media CC0205 host netbackup4: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 3 media CC0205 host netbackup4: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 4 media CC0205 host netbackup4: media does not exist >copy 1 frag 5 media CC0205 host netbackup4: media does not exist checking files file <NT-Development_1024371285_FULL.f>
