Hi all,
If I have a file like:

Number1 Number2 Number3
23 85 31
90 67 45

How can I grab out the entries like "23" and "67" ?

Right now I open the file and search down to "Number1" but don't know what to do from there
sub my_search {
        ($file) = @_;

        open(FILE, $file) || die "Unable to open $file: $!\n";
        while (<FILE>) {
                if (/^Number 1/) {
                        $_ =~ s/\s+/ /g;
                        my @Number = split(" ",$_);
                        # line above only brings me to the headers of 
+the "text table"
                }
}
