Sorry ,

Well the html file that comes back to my program lets say test.html has certain entries like location country etc...

so the file looks like this ;Cost Center Desc.
;FX IT EFX;

;Town
;London ;

So what i want to do is search for town, and then grab the answer of the next line..

Something like $line =~ /Town/ , and the answer i am looking for is the next line which is London. You see these came from a table in html format, and i stripped out the html so i just have text, so this is what i am left with.. 

#!/home/cuthbe/bin/perl

open(T,"test.html") || die ("Unable to open file. $!\n");
foreach (<T>) {
        s/<[^>]+>//g;
        s/&nbsp//g;
        s/<!//g;
        if($_ =~ /Town/) { printf $$; }
        #printf;
}
