From the discussion I see that I misunderstood your initial posting. But I am as confused as kennethk is.

What I think so far:

  • you have a file with a lot of lines
  • you want to match several lines and join them into one
  • the lines you want to match build a consecutive range (e.g. lines 5-11)
  • the range of lines you want to match starts with a line containing the string "remotely"
  • the range of lines you want match ends with a line containing the string "p_agrs"

Based upon that, I guessed this code:

#! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # open file and read from that handle... while ( <DATA> ) { chomp; print if m/remotely/ ... m/p_agrs/; print $/ if m/p_agrs/; } __DATA__ not me foo remotely bar01 bar02 bar03 p_agrs i am not here foo2 remotely barbar01 p_agrs i am out...

result:

foo remotelybar01bar02bar03p_agrs foo2 remotelybarbar01p_agrs

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
