Greetings Fellow Monks! I've spent some Super Search time on this but I'm not seeing the answer. I need to pull a line of data out of the output of an Informix database utility. It looks like this:

DDR -- Running --

# Event  Snoopy   Snoopy   Replay   Replay   Current  Current
Buffers   ID      Position  ID      Position   ID     Position
1024     1667721  2975e7c  1667717  6d44e10  1667721  2982000
[download]

I want the line of numbers after the the line that begins with "Buffers." A co-worker pointed out that I can just match the first line that begins with a digit. True, but that may not always be so! How could I get the next line after the line that starts with "Buffers" regardless of what it started with? TIA
Dave

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.


There's more than one way to do things
