I am trying to parse and print out the PITCHING information to an HTML format. I can get the Cardinals info to parse out, however, I am unable to get the Reds as well. Any suggestion? I am using the following code: 
open(INPUT,"c:/MLB_boxscore.TXT") or die "Can't open file";
print "<html><head><title>My page</title></head><body>";
print "<table>";
$pitching = 0;
while(<INPUT>) {
    if($pitching) {
        last if /^\s*$/;     
        chomp;
        @LS = ();
        push @LS, split('\|',$_);
        print "<tr>"; 
        print "<td> @LS[1] </td>"; 
        print "<td> @LS[2] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[3] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[4] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[5] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[6] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[7] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[8] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[9] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[10] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[11] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[12] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[13] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[14] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[15] </td>";
        print "<td> @LS[16] </td>";
        
        print "</tr>";
        
      }  
           elsif(/^PITCHING/) {
           $pitching = 1}
        
}

print "</table></body></html>";
close INPUT;
