Hello PilotinControl,
The output “Car Record Not Found” appears multiple times because it is within a loop. You need to change the logic to something like this (untested):
my $found = 0;
foreach my $carroadnameverify2 (@lines)
{
if ($carroadnameverify2 =~ /$carroadnameverify/)
{
printf " %-13s %-15s %-12s %0s", split(/:/, $car
+roadnameverify2);
$found = 1;
last;
}
}
print "CAR RECORD NOT FOUND" unless $found;
(This assumes that each car record appears no more than once in the input file. If this is not the case, remove the last; statement from within the if clause.)
Hope that helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
