Re: One liner

You're processing a line at a time, but the string your are trying to match spans two lines.

perl -nle'BEGIN { $/ = "" }  print /^Total SE ON.*?(\d+)/s' *

It's cause your blank lines aren't actually blank! `$ perl -ple's/^\s+//' * \| perl -ne'BEGIN { $/ = "" } print /^Total SE + ON.*?(\d+)/s' 39035` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
