If I recall correctly, /etc/fstab uses whitespace to delimit the fields, so you should be able to do something like:

open FILE, '<', "/mnt/etc/fstab";
my @lines = <FILE>;
for (@lines) {
    my @fields = split /\s+/, $_;
    print "First column: $fields[0], Third column: $fields[2].\n";
}

I know I'm asking a lot but I also would like to know how I only get the lines that start with a "/", is that possible?	[reply]
