That's because it is *not* printing the line with "Test:"... it is only printing the lines between the one that matches "Test:" and the one that matches "Results:" This prevents the line with "Test:" from being printed: !/Test:/ This prevents the line with "Results:" from being printed: !/Results:/ Exactly what output were you expecting? Something like this, perhaps: === 123456 ABCDEF 123456 (2) === Would that be it? If so, try while (<FILE>) { if ( /Test:/ .. /Results:/ ) { if ( /Test:/ ) { print $' } elsif ( /Results:/ ) { print $` } else { print } } } HTH, jac > Regards, > Sudhindra > > -----Original Message----- > From: John W.Krahn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 4:56 PM > To: Perl Beginners > Subject: Re: Query > > On Monday 17 May 2004 03:15, Sudhindra Bhat wrote: > > > > Hi > > Hello, > > > I wanted some help on a piece of code that I was writing.
