Understand your data. Something like this works.

use warnings; use strict; while(<DATA>){ print unless/^#+?\s.+vss #+?$/sm .. /\}/; } __DATA__ # Bind ::d::autoBindmap $intfcName -------------so many other lines------------------------------ ############ Power information for vss ##################### #---------------------------- #pg_vss s100 #---------------------------- #Add pg_vss_dl interface set intfcName pg_vss 1.0 s 100 #Add Verilog port binding for vss ::d::autoBindmap $module pg_vss $intfcName { VSSGND vss_dl; } ############ Power information for vdd ##################### #---------------------------- #pg_vdd s100 #---------------------------- #Add pg_vdd_dl interface set intfcName pg_vdd 1.0 s 100 #Add Verilog port binding for vss ::d::autoBindmap $module pg_vdd $intfcName { VDD vss_dl; } -----------------------so many other lines---------------------------- +--- #write component ::d::writeLib $module
You know one of the value you are looking for will be "vss", but since I know what your array holds. This could do.
