Saved has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How could I gather the variables from a multi-part if with RegEx's , or do I need to break it down into separate parts?
while(<IFILE>) { if ((@LINE =~ /#\s+(\w+)\s+(\d+).+/) && (@LINE =~ /!\s+(\w+)\s+(\d+ +).+/)) { $Word=$1; $TimeStamp=$2; $Word2=$3; $TimeStamp2=$4; print "X $Word X $TimeStamp X $Word2 X $TimeStamp2 x"; } }
Thanx, all help much appreciated.

The suggestion by choroba seems to work, and is part of the solution, but I can't seem to get it working with more than one instance of it in the same if statement: Works:
undef $/; $/="\n\n"; while(<IFILE>) { my @RESULT=(); my @LINES=split (/\n/, $_); if ((grep /objectClass:\s+account/, @LINES) && (grep /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/, @LINES) #&& (my ( $PRODS ) = /ifastProducts:\s+(.+)\s*$/, $_) && (my ( $USER ) = /dn: uid=(\w+?),.+/, $_)) { push(@RESULT, $USER); #push(@RESULT, $PRODS, $USER); print join "|", @RESULT; #print OFILE join "|", @RESULT; #print OFILE "\n"; print "\n"; } }
But this does not:
undef $/; $/="\n\n"; while(<IFILE>) { my @RESULT=(); my @LINES=split (/\n/, $_); if ((grep /objectClass:\s+account/, @LINES) && (grep /objectClass:\s+ifastUser/, @LINES) && (my ( $PRODS ) = /ifastProducts:\s+(.+)\s*$/, $_) && (my ( $USER ) = /dn: uid=(\w+?),.+/, $_)) { #push(@RESULT, $USER); push(@RESULT, $PRODS, $USER); print join "|", @RESULT; #print OFILE join "|", @RESULT; #print OFILE "\n"; print "\n"; } }
