All, can anyone provide some help? my current output is E00854), Seq #: 000595 in TLU: st_ and all I want is the E string and cannot get my substr working Here is my code:

 foreach (split /\n/, $EDM_nonactive_tapelist )  {
                        if (( /\((E\d+)/ ) && ( !m/\*Orig/ ) && ( m/st
+_9840_acs_0/ )) {
                                local $, = "\t";
                                #print OUT "$1\n" unless substr($_, 0,
+ 5) eq '*Orig';
                                #my $fooed = substr($_, 29, 34) ;
                                #print "$fooed \n";
                                print "$1\n" if substr($_, 29, 34) eq 
+'E0+';
                                #print "$_ \n";
                                exit 0;

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.
