Thanks for the help. I was actually able to get the end results I wanted
with a little help. Here's the script:
# while (<IN_FILE>) {
# chomp;
# if ( (m|State=|)) {
# $state = $';
# print "State=$state\n";
# } elsif ( (m|City=|)) {
# $city = $';
# print "City=$city\n";
# print "Location=$city$state\n";
# }
# }
Thanks again,
Jose Malacara
