so a different way to do this is with a flag and What I did was use the $on as a flag to see when to stop printing and to start so hope this helps you! if anyone knows how to a prompt string in the find part: where you search for the word you want to start from and end at if anyone can give me that then thank you! also the die thing i was told that you can have it on the same line as the open I'm relatively new to Perl so if you can also give me some pointers and shortcuts.
#!/\\perl
#
use strict;
use warnings;
# Put the file name in a string variable
# so we can use it both to open the file
# and to refer to in an error message
# if needed.
my $fileName ;
my $success ;
my $on = 0;
# Hard-code the name of the file we're going to read.
# This is the script itself.
$fileName = '/\\rat09awp\ccscripts\Islam\test.log';
# Attempt to open the file. We create a file handle called "IN".
# Open returns a true value if it succeeded, an undefined
# value if it didn't succeed.
$success = open( IN, "<$fileName" );
while ( <IN> ){
if ($_ =~ /Duplicate remedy_id:/){
print $_;
$on = 1;
}
elsif($on){
if ($_ =~ /Duplicate ip_address:/) {
last;
}
else{ print $_;}
}
# We have read all the lines from the file.
# Close the file.
}
close( IN );

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).

are good places to start.
