Re^2: How to get a value from a file and save in another file

Sorry for the cofusions and thanks for the help. I am new here I was not sure how to use the format yet. I am tring to output the first value with "LA" of each record.
The data file should be:
Record1: LA-1-00
Record2: CON-1-0
------------LA-2-01
Record3: LA-03-2
------------LA-03-02

I need the output like:
LA-1-00
LA-2-01
LA-03-2

`perl -nl -e '/^Record/../LA/ && /(LA.+)/ && print $1' datafile` ? I'm sure I'm doing much more work than necessary - but it's hot in the office.	[reply] [d/l]

Shorter: `perl -nle '/^\d/ .. /(LA.)/ && print $1' datafile` Safer: `perl -nle '/^\d/ .. /^\d\s+(LA.*)/ && print $1' datafile`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
