I don't know how detailed you wanna get with this, but the following will
return the line in the text file with the address.
-------------snip--------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while (<>) {
open (FILE, "some_file_name");
print if /@/;
}
close FILE;
-------------snip--------------------------
You can run the above code like a UNIX command-line program like:
./my_program some_file_name
This is just a general suggestion. You should embellish to suit your needs.
