Hi, How would I go about reading in an external file and then based on the search criteria write out individual files. Basically I want to split one big chunk into smaller chunks.
The file gets opened and then I want to search for the first occurence of <start> and pickup up everything until I hit <end> (the <start> and <end> text would have to be inserted into the external file also) and then write everything (see below) into an external file that would, I guess, increment the filenames (ext1.txt, ext2.txt, ext3.txt etc.) Then the program would continue and search for the next occurrence of <start> to <end> and write that out to a file and so on until the EOF is reached. Is this simple to do? I'm totally new to Perl so I have no idea where to start. <start> ... ... ... ... ... <end> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
