So as sample code the sub becomes:

sub ProcessEntry { my $heading = shift; my @lines = @_; print "Heading is: $heading\n"; print "middle lines are:\n"; print " $lines[$_]\n" for (0..(@lines-2)); print "Last line is: $lines[-1]\n\n"; }

Which prints:

Heading is: 1. This string can be modified using only regexes middle lines are: -These strings -Need to be -put into an Last line is: -array Heading is: 2.Here's another string needs only regexes middle lines are: -But here are more -strings which Last line is: -I want arrayed

Obviously you can replace the print lines with whatever you require, but that should suffice to show you how to access the various lines.


Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
