Re: multi-line parsing

Try using the range operator - something like i.e. untested...

use warnings;
use strict;
use autodie;

open INF, "<$file";
while (<INF>){
    if(/First line of text$/ ... /in the third line I have (\d*\.\d*)$
+/)
    {
        push @array, $1 if $1;
    }
}
[download]

Note the use of both strictures and autodie - the latter causing the snippet to die if open() fails.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

Thank you one and all. Bloodnok, I have a small issue there: How do I get away if I see a number in the second line, but would like to grab the number in the line3. Sorry, should have been clear Thank you again	[reply]
