Hi all
Hello,
I am looking at a way of reading a line doing a regex to find the
specific line then pick out the line, sudo code would be some thing
like the following:
read in line
check regex
if regex is correct
{ jump 10 lines
print the output
}
any ideas on jumping the 10 lines, how do I ignore the lines in the
file, and know I'm going the right distance ?
Here is another way to do it:
my $jump;
while ( <FILE> ) {
$jump = $. + 10 if /regex/;
print "the output" if $jump == $.;
}
