Is there anyway to define in perl that the line starts host= is the record beginning and env=<somevalue> is the record end??

No, the Input Record Separator ($/) can only hold one string. However, your records are actually separated by "\n\n", so setting $/ to "\n\n" and then chomp'ing the record will give you "host=host1 network=10.x.x.x ip=10.x.x.x gw=10.x.x.1 history=history1 some comments.. multi line with some indentation at the beginning) loc=loc1 owner=owner1 env=env1" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
