Re: stream parsing an mbox file

You should have a look at the .. operator.

while (<FILE>){
 if (/From/ .. /From/) {
 print $_;
 }
}

The Problem will be, that your going into the if-part , even when someone mentioned the word "From" in his email :-)

so the if, in english, says: "print $_ if it's between these two things", right? the only problem i have with this is it's not adding the lines to a scalar, one for each message. the `..` operator does look interesting though. i don't have a problem with quoting "From", it gets escaped with a ">" in most mbox files i've seen, so you have ">From" on such lines.
