I need to search a particular string in a set of files in a directory. The string appears only in one of the files in the directory. I need to retrieve the file name and then access the line of that particular file in which the string occurs.
Can i know how i can go about this in Perl? What functions i might have to use?
Have you seen the perlfunc manpage? It covers functions that you'll find useful, such as open, print, index, chomp, glob, and last.
