Re^2: Skip header text when comparing time

Here is an example of the headers:

oau-iperf-sip oau-iperf-sip s-oau-dr0 s-oau-dr0 s-swau-dr0 s-swau-dr0 swau-iperf-sip swau-iperf-sip swau-iperf-sip

The headers may change, so I want to skip the line of headers completely and only compare the lines with numbers. When it comes across a header, I want it to skip that line but continue to compare the lines with numbers.

So, I imagine the headers will never have a time in them? Time has a a ":" in it that should be unique to them. So maybe instead of : `if ($line =~ /^\b\d/)` [download] You could use `if ($line =~ m/:/)` [download] I didn't test it since I don't have a sample of your input, but something along those lines should process your steps only if the lines have a colon in them. Alternatively, if the headers and only the headers contain "perf" in them, you could do `if ($line !~ m/perf/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
