Quick question,

I want to run perl -ane '/REMARKS/ && print $F[1]' FILE1 FILE2

the problem is that there is no newline at the end of the every print.

so I have to do

perl -ane '/REMARKS/ && print $F[1] . "\n"' FILE1 FILE2

I thought there is a switch in perl by which I could auto print newlines
I am not able to find any ?

Yes there is one, the -l switch.

perl -lane '/REMARKS/&&print$F[1]' FILE1 FILE2
