Hi all,

I would like to read in a file and print out to a new file UNTIL I reach a
key word in the file.

I tried something like

while (<>) {
if !/KEYWORD/;
print $ >> dest.txt;
}

but that seems to copy all lines of the file except the one(s) contining
KEYWORD.  How can I have this exit and close dest.txt when I reach the line
containing KEYWORD?  Maybe

while (<>) {
if /KEYWORD/;
exit
else print $ >> dest.txt;
}

What would be the best approach?  Thanx for any help!
