Re: A small queestion to match processes

[jwkrahn]

    #obtain the length to match according to ps aux
   {
        print "#Enter the block just once\n";
        last if $strindex;
        $strindex = index($_, "STAT"); 
        #obtain how characters the RegEx should not match
   } #no more of this besides the first line

A simpler way to do that:

    $strindex = $-[0] if ?STAT?;
