Hi stallion,

Two quick observations. The line

my $Data .= $text;

occurs within the inner while loop, and because of the my the $Data variable is being created anew (and effectively initialised to $text) on each loop iteration. So, the concatenation has no effect and $Data never grows from one loop iteration to the next.

Also,

close ($file);

is called on each iteration of the while loop, but this file doesn’t seem to be opened anywhere?

HTH,
