Re: Reading a file from any arbitrary place in the file.

Do you mean to print all of the lines after "This is the temp line."? If so, this should do the trick:

$print = 0;
while ( <DATA> ) {
    if ( $print ) {
        print;
    }

    if ( /^This is a temp line\./ ) {
        $print = 1;
    }
}

Sorry, typed too fast; the regex should be "This is the temp line". I'm sure you get the idea, though.	[reply]
