Untested:
$str = " ... "; # The data you posted my @data; foreach my $line (split /\n\s*/, $str) { if (/^MAC Address:\s*(\S+)/) { push @data, {mac_address => $1} } elsif (/^IP addr:\s*(\S+)/) { $data[-1]{ip_address} = $1; } elsif (/^Link Speed:\s*(\S+)/) { $data[-1]{link_speed} = $1; } elsif (/^Link Cost:\s*(\S+)/) { $data[-1]{link_cost} = $1; } } printf "Node with MAC Address: %s has IP = %s and Link Speed = %s and +Link Cost = %s\n", $_->{mac_address}, $_->{ip_address}, $_->{link_speed}, $_->{li +nk_cost} for @data;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
