I need to access previous element in array.


File example:

1. SEG|2961|4| |B|N|000| | |91506|91506|Z|06| 37|0|1|Z|06|37|0|8954|

2. NAME|PARKSIDE AVE| | | |O|E|1399|1301|1398|1300|N|Y|Y|

3. 

4. SEG|2962|4|A|B|N|000| | |91506|91506|Z|06| 37|0|1|Z|06|37|0|8954|

5. NAME|RIVERSIDE DR| | | |O|E|1799|1701|1798|1700|N|Y|Y|

 

Pattern is PARKSIDE AVE. When I find it, I wont to display the previous line as well, 
because its one record.

 

while(<TF>){

if (!/$pattern/i){next;}

else{$counter++;

print $_[-1]; #here I'm trying to display that previous line without success.

print "$counter: $_";}

}

 

And one more question:

File example:

 

#REDIRECT=/net/542/2003q4_2m/db/uca/zone.cfg

REDIRECT=/net/542/2003q4_2m/db/uma/zone.cfg

 

I need to get this path: /net/542/2003q4_2m/db/uca/

 

while (<ZONECFG>){

  next if $_ =~ /^#/;

  ($path_todb) = $_ =~ /\/.*\//;

}

 

Instead of correct path I've got - 1. It looks like I'm assigning scalar value of $_ 
to my variable even if I surround path_todb in parenthesis

 

Could you help me to resolve these two problems?

 

Thanks in advance.
