in reply to Processing words in a file.

Are you interested in checking all strings or just the first string? Could you include a few lines from an actual file and indicate your desired output? Thanks!

    Intrested in all strings....
      Also, I need a condition like this: If, $first_word == xyz, followed by if $second_word == abc as the lines have same format, I want the loop to be on a per line basis. ---LOOP SHOULD BE ON PER LINE BASIS
