@files; $name = 1; sub dothis { ($name, $m, $hit) = @_; print "PAGE ->\t$name\ndata ->" , $m ? "\t\t$m\nMATCHED - >\t$hit\ +n" : " TEXT INFO HERE.\n"; return $name; } while ($line = <DATA>){ push @files, map { $line =~ /(patternOne)/i || $line =~ /(patternTwo)/i ? dothis( +$name, $1, $_) : dothis($name); } ($line =~ /matchPattern/gi); } print "\nfiles: @files\nct: ", scalar @files, "\n"; # for debugging +purpose __DATA__ matchPattern matchPattern patternTwo matchPattern la la la patternTwo matchPattern blablablamatchPattern huh? patternOne patternOnepatternOnepatternOnematchPattern patternOne matchPattern oh dear patternTwo la la la patternTwo matchPattern here we go again matchPattern done yet? machPattrn over over over
