Hi ,
I have an input file with multiple lines.The code is to search for a particular word in the line and to print the entire line if the word is present.Currently i am using a code as shown below
use strict;
my $find = "word or string to find";
open FILE, "<searchfile.txt";
my @line = <FILE>;
print "Lined that matched $find\n";
for (@lines) {
if ($_ =~ /$find/) {
print "$_\n";
}
}
But here we are iterating through each line which is time consuming.Is there an easy method?

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).

are good places to start.
