I am still unsure as to what you want. To separate the blocks of number is easy. `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $\| =1; my $curve1_out = 'curve1.out'; my $curve2_out = 'curve2.out'; my $in ='curve12.data'; open (IN, '<', $in) or die "cannot open $in $!"; open (my $c1, '>', $curve1_out) or die "cannot open $curve1_out $!"; open (my $c2, '>', $curve2_out) or die "cannot open $curve2_out $!"; while (<IN>) { if (/^Curve(\d):/.../^\s*$/) { if (defined($1) && $1==1 && /^\d/) {print $c1 "$_\n";}; if (defined($1) && $1==2 && /^\d/) {print $c2 "$_\n"}; } }` [download] data attached...So what else needs to happen?

That is what I was trying to accomplish for the past week Would you be gracious enough to place comments on your code so that I can understand what is going on. Thanks a bunch.	[reply]

Dear Marshal, That is what I have been trying to accomplish. When I run the script, my output files have nothing on them. Would you comment the lines of code, so that I can understand the logic and try to solve why I am not getting the results you are getting. Regards, Joe	[reply]

Hi Joe! I've been away dealing with other problems..its not that I am ignoring you! For example, the Tax man bites tomorrow and I had to deal with that! Ouch! More to the Perl point: The use of the ... and .. pattern matching operators. I've seen the ... op called the "flip-flop" operator. I don't know what these folks would call the .. operator. They are the same except that ... operates on multiple lines and .. operates on a single line. Code examples are good so, here we go...!! `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; while (<DATA>) { print if (/^TITLE:/.../^\s*$/); } __DATA__ TITLE: qasfd asfdikyh6rf76 khlyouyih TITLE: oiqywrot6 09809g808 asdfafTITLE: stuff stuff that doesn't matter [asDFKJKLAFG] ASDFKJAFKLJ TITLE: TITLE ASDFASFD not a title paragraph TITLE: 98797 ABCD EFG __END__ ##### prints: ####### TITLE: qasfd asfdikyh6rf76 khlyouyih TITLE: oiqywrot6 09809g808 asdfafTITLE: TITLE: 98797 ABCD EFG` [download] The above prints all lines between and inclusive of the lines that start with TITLE and have a blank line. The .. operator does about the same but is restricted to one line instead of multiple lines. $1 has to do with first match in the "regex", Regular Expression. Think of the ... op as kind of a filter. Once you are inside this "filtered" set of lines or tokens, then you can further filter things to further exclude what you don't want. This is like a funnel that takes in gallons and produces "shot glasses" of output. Having said that, I'm not sure that this is the best way for what you are doing. I am actually not quite sure what your app is. If things haven't worked out, post some more info and we will talk about it.	[reply] [d/l]
