This will do it.
I don't exactly know what you mean by "neatly written" but your email may
mangle the formatting of the program.
Can't do anything about that.
The results will be in uidf.txt.
_____________________________________________________________
use strict;
my $inpf = 'student.txt';
my $uidf = 'uidf.txt';
open (DATA, $inpf) or die "Can't open file $inpf!\n";
open (UIDF, ">$uidf") or die "Can't open output file!\n";
#read file
my $line;
while ($line = <DATA>) {
chomp($line);
if ($line =~ /^dn:\s+uid=(s\d{2}-\d{1}-\d{1}-\d{1,3})/) {
print UIDF ("$1\n");
}
}
close (DATA, UIDF);
END;

Good luck
