perlquestion hmb104 <p>Dear Monks, </p> <p>I'm getting about 10 lines when I perform a query on a Cisco router. From these 10 lines I need the some info from the first 3 lines. Hwo I can use the split function on ONLY the first 3 lines of the array? Below is my Code: </p> <code> @Data = split( ' ', $RouterOutput[0,2] ); if ( ( $Data[0] eq 'Device' ) && ( $Data[1] eq 'ID:' ) ) { $SwitchName = $Data[2] ; $SwitchName =~ s/$'site.com'//i ; } if ( ( $Data[0] eq 'IP' ) && ( $Data[1] eq 'address' ) ) { $SwitchIP = $Data[2] ; } </code>
