Hello , I have this pice of code where I am trying to grep from a file two things , the first .bld file and one of the directoy which is two level up of that file :

open(OUTNbssbase, "<  $tempDir/nbssbaseblds.txt") ||
  die "Could not open file2  : $!\n";
my @hold1;
while (<OUTNbssbase>) {
  push(@hold1, $1) && last if (m/(\w+\.bld)/);
}
my $hold11 = join(' ', @hold1);
close(OUTNbssbase) or die("Can't close file: $!");
[download]

my .txt file look like this :

nbssbase/acn/bld/libacnsGH040.bld:acnss.cxx
nbssbase/acn/bld/libacnsGH040btsc.bld:acnss.cxx
nbssbase/acn/bld/libacnsGH040eel.bld:acnss.cxx
[download]

now I am able to capture the first .bld but I need also to capture the "acn" which is two level up ,, I am finding this hard to do when using push and last ,, any ideas or better way .. thanks for help

• 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).
