Re: Extracting Data from a second line

My solution is different again. No error checking etc. Assumes all data as given.

open(FH,"file");

while( <FH> ) {
    if (/red line/) {
       process(<FH>);
    }
}

Note this will read the lines below other 'keys' but will just pass them by.

Not the most elegant or efficient but it does work.

`while( <FH> ) { if (/red line/) { process(<FH>); } }` [download] This doesn't work as required. Replace `process(<FH>);` with `process(scalar <FH>);`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
