Assuming you can get the lines into an array, grep is your friend:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper qw/Dumper/;
my @lines = (<DATA>);
@lines = grep {/type\s=/} @lines;
print Dumper \@lines;

__DATA__

Alternately, you can process your file line by line, capturing only lines that match the simple regex I used in the grep block. HTH.

Just a something something...
