Hi Sewi,

Thanks for the reply.

I was planning to first use an array and then pass the elements of the array to a hash...Came out with very very basic stuff like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $command = `symdev -sid 1234 list -noport -noreserve|find /I "not v
+isible"`;

my @cmdline = split (/\n/, $command);
my @chgcmdline = @cmdline[5,8];

print "@chgcmdline\n";

But got stuck after this. Tried going through the node I have mentioned earlier and figuring out. The  symdev -sid 1234 list -noport -noreserve|find /I "not visible" is the command that gives the output mentioned in my post.

BTW - I am using Strawberry Perl that came bundled with Padre IDE and I do sometimes use Padre. Awesome IDE. Mr. Gabor did a great thing by pre bundling a lot of modules. Neat stuff :)
