This should extract your data, if I understand your input file format correctly (please, read the links that were kindly provided to you and format the post before you post it).
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @records;
my %record;
my $recordinprogress = 0;
while (<>) {
if (/-------/) {
if ($recordinprogress) {
push @records, { %record };
%record = ();
$recordinprogress = 1;
}
}
elsif (/([^:]+): (.*)/) {
$recordinprogress = 1;
$record{$1} = $2;
}
}
The code above, when used on your data, produces the following array of hashes:
$VAR1 = [
{
'phone no' => '34738472 ',
'url' => 'www.google.com ',
'name' => 'Umesh ',
'address' => 'New Delhi ',
'room no' => '001 '
},
{
'phone no' => '',
'url' => 'www.yahoo.com ',
'name' => 'Raj ',
'address' => 'Sahadara ',
'room no' => '002 '
},
{
'phone no' => '84398419 ',
'url' => 'www.rediff.com ',
'name' => 'Hem ',
'address' => 'mumbai ',
'room no' => '003 '
},
{
'phone no' => '',
'url' => 'www.google.com ',
'name' => 'Mukesh ',
'address' => '',
'room no' => '004 '
},
{
'phone no' => '4814314783 ',
'name' => 'abcxyz ',
'address' => '',
'room no' => ''
},
{
'phone no' => '',
'name' => 'Rakesh ',
'address' => 'jrieiqrjqq ',
'room no' => ''
}
];
Now, it's up to you to print it out. I suggest using CSV if you want to import the data to an application like Gnumeric or Excel.
If you have any further questions, show something that you managed to do. You'll find many Monks willing to help you, but that does not mean someone will do everything for you.
