Here is a solution that does not use the Range Operator:
use strict; use warnings; my $name; while (<DATA>) { if (/^.*Pseudo.*?\=(.*?$)/) { $name = $1 } if (/^.*Logical.*?\=(.{4})/sg) { print "$name,$1\n" } } __DATA__ Pseudo name=hdiskpower97 Symmetrix ID=000187751303 Logical device ID=0380 state=alive; policy=SymmOpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=0 ====================================================================== +======== ---------------- Host --------------- - Stor - -- I/O Path - -- S +tats --- ### HW Path I/O Paths Interf. Mode State Q-IO +s Errors ====================================================================== +======== 0 fscsi0 hdisk100 FA 10cA active alive +0 0 2 fscsi2 hdisk254 FA 7cA active alive +0 0 Pseudo name=hdiskpower90 Symmetrix ID=000187751303 Logical device ID=0381 state=alive; policy=SymmOpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=0 ====================================================================== +======== ---------------- Host --------------- - Stor - -- I/O Path - -- S +tats --- ### HW Path I/O Paths Interf. Mode State Q-IO +s Errors ====================================================================== +======== 2 fscsi2 hdisk247 FA 7cA active alive +0 0 0 fscsi0 hdisk93 FA 10cA active alive +0 0

prints:

hdiskpower97,0380 hdiskpower90,0381

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
