Hi vinoth.ree
Am sure you know one can achieve the OP intended output without so much elaborate solution. like so:
use warnings;
use strict;
while (<DATA>){
print unless /computer.|^\s+$/i;
}
__DATA__
COMPUTER1
ACCT1
ACCT2
ACCT3
One can even take out the while loop and use grep like so:
print grep{!/computer.|^\s+$/i}<DATA>;
These gives the output:
ACCT1
ACCT2
ACCT3
ACCT4
ACCT7
ACCT8
ACCT9
@ jalopez453,
Please also note that the filehandle is written as __DATA __, double "_" not a single dash as did.
Cheers!
If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

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).
