I have a Unix script right now that I'm converting to a Perl script (going to Microsoft). The unix script looks at a text file using grep -v and grep and writes to two seperate files depending on the outcome. The contents of the file that is getting grepped could look something like this:

order_item : CKFH6-05 : INVALID KEY ID : CKFH6-05
order_item : CKFH6-05 : *** OK *** : CKFH6-05

The grep from the unix script looked like this:
foreach i ('ls -d APPL_RMKS_RCV* ') grep -v 'NOT|INVALID|MUST|ERROR' $i | grep - >> ${good_ones} grep 'NOT|INVALID|MUST|ERROR' $i | grep - >> ${bad_ones} end
To this point, for the Perl script I have:
foreach $file(@file){ open(MYFILE, $file[$i]) or die qq(Cannot open $file[$i]\n); my $line = <MYFILE>; while ($line ne "") { #******* do grep here *******# } } $i++; }
What would be the equivalent in Perl for the grep in my unix script? Namely the grep -v. Thank you.
