in thread Input to String OR Array

So as sample code the sub becomes:

sub ProcessEntry { my $heading = shift; my @lines = @_; print "Heading is: $heading\n"; print "middle lines are:\n"; print " $lines[$_]\n" for (0..(@lines-2)); print "Last line is: $lines[-1]\n\n"; }

Which prints:

Heading is: 1. This string can be modified using only regexes middle lines are: -These strings -Need to be -put into an Last line is: -array Heading is: 2.Here's another string needs only regexes middle lines are: -But here are more -strings which Last line is: -I want arrayed

Obviously you can replace the print lines with whatever you require, but that should suffice to show you how to access the various lines.
