use strict; my $filedata = do {local $/; <DATA>}; my ($ir_value, $ysp_value) = $filedata =~ m/AGF30.*?%.*?(.{10})\n.*?\n +.*?(.{10})\n/s; print $ir_value,"\n",$ysp_value; __DATA__ one line two line three line bla AGF30 foor four line feeble % 0123456789 one more two more ABCDEFGHIJ end
Outputs:
0123456789 ABCDEFGHIJ
This only works if there are in fact 10 or more characters on the line following the % and there are 10 or more characters in the 2nd and 4th lines following. The ten characters do not include the newline.
