$word = "seminary";
I am trying to retrieve a word, and the surrounding text in a file. For example, read through a file for $word, and when matched, place in a variable the matching word, along with the 10 words preceding it and trailing it, and have it work over multiple lines. Is there an effective way to do this in Perl? i.e., in the paragraph above, if I searched for the word "along" match would contain what is written below. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. $match = "and when matched, place in a variable the matching word, along with the 10 words preceding it and trailing it, and";
