You would: 1. open the file for reading 2. read each line in the file 3. check each line for your desired pattern That is what grep does. By doing this in Perl, you save having to create another process. You can combine the step of finding the pattern and extracting information from the desired line. You can also quit after you have found the line you are seeking, if you only need to find one match; grep will continue to read the rest of the file looking for more matches. Let us know if you have problems with any of these steps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
