Subject: Re: redundant extraction.
You write:
open(ABC, "TEST.html") or die "Can't open
TEST: $!\n"; while ($line =
<ABC>)
{
if ($line =~ /hello\s\d\d\d/ )
{$hello=$&}
if ($line =~ /E\d\d\d-\d\d\d\d/ or $line =~
/E\d\d\d\d\d\d\d/)
{$pager=$&} print "$number :
$hello\n"; };
Obviously that is not your
complete program because you never set $number. But, when you read a blank
line, both of the if conditions are false, so $hello is not changed, $pager
is not changed, and $number is not changed, so you print the same
information you printed for the previous line.
It is not clear to me
exactly what you are trying to do, but this might help:
open(ABC,
"TEST.html") or die "Can't open TEST: $!\n"; while ($line =
<ABC>) { $flag = 0; if
($line =~ /hello\s\d\d\d/ )
{$hello=$&; $flag++;} if ($line =~
/E\d\d\d-\d\d\d\d/ or $line =~
/E\d\d\d\d\d\d\d/)
{$pager=$&; $flag++;} if ( $flag == 2 )
{ print "$pager :
$hello\n"; } };
