Esteemed Monks

Greeting

I'm feeling a bit rusty, and I wonder if you can help please?

I have data as such
21 10216503 27f14 208 1 vxdmp (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1): DMP Drive) 22 78016000 1c8c80 223 1 vxio (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) I/O driver) 24 781bf440 847 225 1 vxspec (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) control/st) 127 7837cb56 bb3 234 1 vxportal (VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j portal driver +) 128 7837e000 1636fd 16 1 vxfs (VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j,PID=116688-01)
what I want to achieve is this
21,10216503,27f14,208,1,vxdmp,(VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1): DMP Drive) 22,78016000,1c8c80,223,1,vxio,(VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) I/O driver) 24,781bf440,847,225,1,vxspec,(VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) control/st) 127,7837cb56,bb3,234,1,vxportal,(VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j portal driver) 128,7837e000,1636fd,16,1,vxfs,(VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j,PID=116688-01)
so I wrote this script
#! c:/perl/bin/perl.exe use strict; use Archive::Tar; system(cls); my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(); $tar->read("c:\\emcgrab.tar.gz", 1); @_ = $tar->list_files(); print "\n\n"; for my $modinfo (@_) { next unless ($modinfo =~ /modinfo.txt/); $tar->extract_file( $modinfo, "c:\\Emcmodinfo.txt"); open(FILE,"c:\\Emcmodinfo.txt") || die; chomp (my @stuff = <FILE>); for my $line (@stuff) { next unless ($line =~ /vx/); $line =~ s/^\s+//; print "$line\n"; $line =~ /^(\d+)\s+(\d+\w+\d+)\s+(\d+\w+)/; } }
and what I get is not what I expected!
21 10216503 27f14 208 1 vxdmp (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1): DMP Drive) 21,10216503,27f14 ------------------------------------------------------- 22 78016000 1c8c80 223 1 vxio (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) I/O driver) 22,78016000,1c8c80 ------------------------------------------------------- 24 781bf440 847 225 1 vxspec (VxVM 4.0R_p3.7 (MP1) control/st) 24,781bf440,847 ------------------------------------------------------- 127 7837cb56 bb3 234 1 vxportal (VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j portal driver +) ,, ------------------------------------------------------- 128 7837e000 1636fd 16 1 vxfs (VxFS 4.0_REV-MP1j,PID=116688-01) 128,7837e000,1636fd ------------------------------------------------------- C:\Perl>
