Try
open (FILE, "$file") or die 'Open failed'; # where $file = 'some path
and/or file name'
while (<FILE>) {
print "$_" if /\.\?$/; # the only the last character of the
line is a <.,?> !
}
hope this give you some ideas ...

Subject: reg exp
hello -
I am trying to search a <file> for any sentence that ends in "." or "?" I
want to only print those sentences that end with "." or "?" I am having
trouble with the reg expression syntax...
------------------
while (<file>)
{
$file=<file>;
if(/\.\?$/){
print "$only_sentences_that_end_with_._or_?";
}
}
-----------------
thanks
