I wish to do a while loop to extract the data after each title POLYMORPH n
I written the code below, but not working ? I think its the stuff after the if command thats not right ? could someone please help me correct the mistake i've made

$in_filename = "graph_set.txt"; open (IN,"$in_filename") or die "Can't open $in_filename:$!\n"; my $i; LOOP: while (<IN>) { if (/POLYMORPH/) { my $tmps = <IN>; ($final_gset[$i]), $tmps; } } close (IN); open (TEXT, ">>test.txt") or die "Can't create test.txt: $!\n"; foreach $_(@final_gset) { print TEXT "$_\n"; } close TEXT;
