Hello all... I'm wanting to write a script that scans a file, ignoring all lines until it reaches a certain section, then processes all lines in that section that are not comments, until it reaches the end of that section.
The section would be designated like this: ## Beging Processing ## ## End Processing ## So I open my file, and skip all lines until I see that first bit... Then do stuff until I see the last bit. Can someone help me out with this? Tony #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; open (FILE, "<myfile") or die "Could not open Template. ($!)"; while ($line = <FILE>) { #skip until beginning.... #End when "End Processing" is reached last if $line =~ "End Processing"; #Process the lines in between next if $line =~ /^#/; #do stuff.... } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
