I am a student of perl, who is amazed by the power of perl, when it comes to regular expressions. I have learned Omnimark / flex and many other tools, but found that Perl is better than all(This is my personal opinion). Let me assure the group that it is not for any harmful use. I am trying to parse a big data file. Please provide the correct information.
