Let me see if I understand what you want-- if the line begins with "HISTOGRAM OF" you want to print the words "in loop"? Why would you need anything more than this for the match:

if (/^HISTOGRAM OF/){...etc}?

As to what you're doing with it, you could get at the gpa value by splitting the data on the white space and/or the asterisk. I'm not sure what you're after, but you could make an array of the gpa values that way and use them.

That's how I'd start anyway. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
