I am using the following piece of code to check to see if online 23 the word
'Running'  appears between pos 11 and 19.

I have two questions.
1. Is this the correct format to do this?
2. How can I just output that area that I am checking to make sure it is
looking at the right place?


Thank you


#open a file with the filehandle
open WORKFLOW, "+<..\\..\\workflow.txt"  or die "Cannot open Workflow $!\n";
my $data = <WORKFLOW> for (1..21);              #Testing to make sure I am
                                                #grabbing the correct data----
seek(WORKFLOW, 22, 0);          #This will put you at row 23.---
$_=<WORKFLOW>;
/("Running")/;                  #Now if you want, you can also check
                                        #to make sure that this was found in
                                        #the right column by checking @- and @+
if($-[0] == 10 && $+[0] == 18)
{ 
#Send and email if the word is not found 
}
