Hello there. I'm a real beginner and I was wondering if you could be so kind to help me on this. I have a text file, containing a number of varying length documents, all tagged with DOC-START and DOC-END, structured as follows:
DOC-START content of the document DOC-END DOC-START some text DOC-END DOC-START rtreytgfbvb DOC-END DOC-START sdfdf fdff ee DOC-END ... I need to take every document and pass it to a parsing function, that accepts a file with *a single* document, that is DOC-START some text DOC-END My file contains lots of these records, so picking each document and writing it into a new file is not an option. How can I extract the documents one at a time from the file? Is it possible e.g. to put one such record iteratively into a temporary file and pass this to the parser? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Giu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
