Hi Monks, I will be grateful if you can provide me a code for this problem. I am new to perl and you help will be really appreciated. I have a log file which looks like this:- (I have numbered the lines)
1 Software Package: "xxxxxxx"
2 Operation: install
3 Mode: not-transactional,not-undoable | force
4 Time: XXXXXXX
5 =================
6 WORKSTATION1:
7
8 Distribution ID: `xxxx.xxx'
9
10 Current software package status is 'IC--E'.
11
12 Operation successful.
13
14 Execution of user program 'during_install - C:\Staging\MS07-061_WXP_ENU.1.0.1.0\setup.exe (/s)' completed with result: 'success'.
15
16 User program exit code: 0
17
18
19 =================
20
21 Software Package: "XXXXX"
22 Operation: install
23 Mode: not-transactional,not-undoable |force
24 Time: XXXXXX
25 =================
26 WORKSTATION2:
27
28 Distribution ID: `XXXXX.XXXX'
29
30 Current software package status is 'IC--E'.
31
32 Operation unsuccessful.
33
34 Execution of user program 'during_install - C:\Staging\MS07-061_WXP_ENU.1.0.1.0\setup.exe (/s)' completed with result: 'success'.
35
36 User program exit code: 0
37
38
39 =================
40 and so on follows the same pattern.

### Program will find for the match 'IC--E'

The output file will look like this:
WORKSTATION1(Line 6) User program exit code: 0(Line 16)
WORKSTATION2(Line 26) User program exit code: 0(Line 36)
