Here is an approach that worked on the data you provided. I think it would replace your foreach loop.
Although, I'm not sure how you want your data printed with a '<br>' at the end of each line.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use 5.014; my ($file, $function, $tag); printf "%-5s%-15s%s\n", qw/ Tags Function File /; my @line = <DATA>; for my $i (0 .. $#line) { if ($line[$i] =~ /^File: (.+)$/) { $file = $1; } elsif ($line[$i] =~ /^Function: (.+)$/) { $function = $1; } elsif ($line[$i] =~ /^Tag: Yes$/) { ($tag) = $line[$i+1] =~ /(\d+)$/; printf "%-5s%-15s%s\n", $tag, $function, $file; } } __DATA__ File: check1.asm Function: Monks Tag: No Tag: 001 Tag: Yes Tag: 002 File: check2.asm Function: Perl Monks Tag: Yes Tag: 003 Tag: No Tag: 004 File: check3.asm Function: Experts Tag: No Tag: 005 Tag: No Tag: 006 Function: Perl Experts Tag: No Tag: 007 Tag: Yes Tag: 008
Outputs
Tags Function File 002 Monks check1.asm 003 Perl Monks check2.asm 008 Perl Experts check3.asm

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
