I want to count the number of the lines that contains keyword "energy" and the number of the lines that occur between the keyword "energy". The input file is as follows

536 ENERGY = -176.2 gag
1 G 0 2 0 1
2 G 1 3 533 2
3 G 2 4 532 3
536 ENERGY = -175.9 gag
1 G 0 2 0 1
2 G 1 3 533 2
3 G 2 4 532 3
As in this case the code should print 2 and 3 respectively. My code is just printing the number of lines containing "energy" which is 2 in this case. but not printing the number of lines within "energy" which is 3. My code is as follows:
open(MYFILE, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!"); @raw_data=<MYFILE>; foreach $c (@raw_data) { @c = $c; (@c[0],@c[1],@c[2], @c[3], @c[4], @c[5], @c[6])=split(/\s+/,$c); if(@c[2] eq ENERGY) { #print "energy found. reading next line\n"; while(@c[2] ne ENERGY) { $_=<MYFILE>; print $_; $count = $count + 1; } } } print "$count\n"; close(MYFILE);
Can anyone please help me?I guess there is something wrong with while loop. Your help will really be appreciated.
