The format of the document is as follows:

Hi im going to extract from this document and the extraction starts here

1. Check1

Check2

2. Check3

The snippet im using is:

$ExcelSheet    = getcwd."\\"."Sheet";
    $ExcelSheet    =~ s/\//\\/g;
    $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;
    my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
    $Excel->{Visible} = 0;        #0 is hidden, 1 is visible
    $Excel->{DisplayAlerts}=0;    #0 is hide alerts
    $Excel->{ScreenUpdating} =0; # 0 False
    my $ExcelReport = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("$ExcelSheet");
    my $Sheet=$ExcelReport->Worksheets(2);
    $Sheet->Activate;
 

@checkfiles=glob('*.doc');
    
foreach my $file (@checkfiles)
{ 
    
    my $document = Win32::OLE -> GetObject("$var");

    print "Extracting Text ...\n";
    my @array;
    my $paragraphs = $document->Paragraphs();
    my $enumerate = new Win32::OLE::Enum($paragraphs);
    while(my $paragraph = $enumerate->Next())
    {

        my $text = $paragraph->{Range}->{Text}; 
          $text =~ s/[\n\r\t]//g;
          $text =~ s/\x0B/\n/g;
          $text =~ s/\x07//g;
      
         
         chomp $text;
        
        my $Data .= $text;
        
        @array=split(/\.$/,$Data);
        
        foreach my $line( @array)
        {
                
            if($line =~ m/starts here$/)

When "STARTS HERE" is matched the next following lines till the end of the document should be written to the excelsheet("$ExcelSheet")...and i want check1 and check2 to come in one cell and check3 and check4 to come in the next cell and so on.
