Re^7: How to extract certain range of text and display it? (snafu)

[Anonymous Monk]

I used $_ but nothing prints out.

Sure it does

$ perl -l snafu
$ NAME : corry
$$.Inc s d
$$.Oc s
$$.TO

G1 ty n1 EE EE M T1 T2 $$SRU
G2 n1 y OO OO M T3 T4 $$SRU
.EON

and here is snafu

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use warnings;
use strict;
my $test;
my @words;
#~ open(INFO,"<","testing.pl")||die"Can't open file:$!\n";
open(INFO,"<", __FILE__ )||die"Can't open file:$!\n";
chomp (@words=<INFO>);
close(INFO);
foreach (@words){
    if(/^\$ NAME : corry/ .. /\.EON/){
        $test=$_;
        print $test;
    }
}
__END__
$ NAME : corry   
$$.Inc s d  
$$.Oc s 
$$.TO

G1 ty n1 EE EE M T1 T2 $$SRU   
G2 n1 y OO OO M T3 T4 $$SRU   
.EON  

$ NAME : patrick  
$$.Inc c d
$$.Oc c 
$$.TO 

G1 td n3 EE EE M T5 T6 $$SRU    
G2 n3 y OO OO M T7 T8 $$SRU  
.EON
