Thanks to all of you for your help.
Based on your guidance i managed to get my code work.
I'm posting my code below.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#use strict;
#use warnings;
my $fh;
my $log;
my $line;
open($fh,"<","file1") or die "can not open file $fh : $!\n" ;
open ($log,">","file2")or die "can not open file $log : $!\n" ;
while($line = <$fh>)
{
if ($line =~ /pattern1/ )
{
printf $log $line;
while($line = <$fh>)
{
if($line =~ /pattern2/)
{
printf $log $line;
last;
} else
{
printf $log $line;
}
}
}
}
close $fh;
close $log;
Happy to take your advice to make this code more efficient.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
