sonicscott9041,
It sounds like your requirements are simple:

• Ignore any line that begins with a whitespace or control character
• Ignore blank lines
• Remove everything up to and including the first space on remaining lines

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $file = $ARGV[0] or die "Usage: $0 <input_file>";
open(my $fh, '<', $file) or die "Unable to open '$file' for reading: $
+!";
while (<$fh>) {
    next if /^(?:\s|[:cntrl:])/ || /^$/;
    s/^\S+\s//;
    print;
}

If that's not what you want, you will need to do a better job of describing your requirements. The code above is untested.
