I'm trying to parse thru an array, specifically one with nmap's argument list. I am trying to get a list of ports from this line, and having some problems. Here is the code I have: 
$args = "nmap -sS -iL ips.txt -p 1-1024 172.27.1.4";
@list = split(/\ /, $args);
foreach $list (@servicelist) {
        if ($list =~/-p/)  {
        ......

what I want to do is advance to the next element and assign that value (in this case 1-1024) to a variable...

In reply to find element in array, then advance to next element by kathys39
