Re: seek and process from there on

You could try something using the:
$` ($PREMATCH) and $´ ($POSTMATCH)
operators.

Then use your while structure looking for 'need this' running through the contents of the postmatch.

You could try something using the: $` ($PREMATCH) and $´ ($POSTMATCH) operators. So he should slurp in the whole file all at once into a string and apply a match to it. Then seems like you're suggesting he will have to `open my $postmatch, '<', \$' or die $!;` [download] and search `while(<$postmatch>)` (or to use some trick along these lines). Very, very smart indeed...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
