in reply to Perl script to print Next line after Pattern Matching

Since you had requested it, here is a corrected version of your program:
use strict; use warnings; my $in_file = 'check.doc'; open my $in_fh, '<', $in_file or die "Could not open file $in_file: $! +"; my $out_file = 'output.txt'; open my $out_fh, '>', $out_file or die "Could not open file $out_file: +$!"; my $print_next = 0; while ( my $line = <$in_fh> ) { if ($print_next){ print $out_fh $line; #No need to chomp - we print the "\n" } $print_next = ($line =~ /^Customer ID: Yes/); } close $in_fh or die "Could not close file $in_file: $!"; close $out_fh or die "Could not close file $out_file: $!";
You can add the other features using code that is posted above.

BTW, congrats on using the "correct" form of "open" and "close".
