Hi GrandFather,

Tnx so much indeed for the hand. My perl script is working now. =)

But now my problem is the extraction of data is taking too slow. You know my data is 1.2 GB text file with 8M rows and 38 columns. Imagine how huge this data is.

Is there a way I can optimixed the extraction of the data. That is why I created this script to filter only those informations that I need. Is there any modules available or any way to speed up the process of extraction? Tnx in advance.

Cheers! :)

Br, Pete
