Re^3: Lost in Perl - text file searching and printing

Thanks again for the input! The text file I am reading in is a couple of paragraphs of text from an article about Perl. One of the lines that the program should find is: Server (PAUSE) and it was happily feeding modules through to the CPAN archive sites. The output of the program, seeing the punctuation at the end, and the word "it" in the line would be : was happily feeding modules through to the CPAN archive sites. My program finds that line now, but it prints the entire line, not just what comes after "it". Any thoughts? Thanks! Eric

I know it wasn't invisible, because it received more downvotes than upvotes. But there was no reply to it. If that answer doesn't work for you, please reply to it with specific questions. Thanks!
