Thanks Craig, I just tried using the seek command and it works as well.

Is there a way to specify that one of the columns is a string/character type?

I am parsing data that looks like :

 0 0 192 alpha 0 locked   --------  485 -38.75  34 205 0x00000fe5

Using rgrep to capture the first 4 fields and the 9th field. The data is 
intermixed with other data in the file so I can't use rcols.

($a, $b, $c, $d, $e) = rgrep 
{/^\s+(\d)\t(\d)\t(\d+)\t(\w+)\t\d\t\w+\s+w+\s+\d+\t(\-\d+\.\d+)\s+\d+\t\d+.*/} 
*IN;

$d is a string and when I print the number of elements it is the same as the 
other columns, however, I can't print any of the individual values, nor find 
the uniq values.

The datatypes available doesn't have a character or string type, so I am not 
sure how to change it so that I can read it.

I think you need to reopen the file.

Hi Folks, I am trying to use rgrep to pull out data from the same file that 
occur in different areas of the file using rgrep. My first use of rgrep works 
as expected, it is upon subsequent calls that I get nothing returned.
================================================================
Ex:
pdl> open IN, "< LAV800_BTS232_APR08_BETA-LAUBSC-20110428134127.txt"

pdl>  ($rx0,$rx1) = rgrep {/^\t(\d+)\t(\d+)$/} *IN

pdl> p nelem $rx0
7760

pdl> p nelem $rx1
7760

pdl> $rx0=()

pdl> p nelem $rx0
1

pdl> p nelem $rx1
7760

pdl>  ($rx0,$rx1) = rgrep {/^\t(\d+)\t(\d+)$/} *IN

pdl> p nelem $rx0
1

pdl> p nelem $rx1
1
================================================================

I am actually grepping different regexp but doing the same one seemed like the 
most obvious way to show that it isn't working the second time it is called.

Any ideas? Thanks,
