Re: Returning line numbers of a string

in reply to Returning line numbers of a string

In pseudo-code:

open log-file
set line-counter to 0

read the log-file a line at a time
    add one to the line-counter
    if the pattern is found, then
        then print "I found pattern at ", line-counter

once the file is completely read, 
    close log-file

print "We Are Done!!"
exit

Let us know when you get stuck implementing this in Perl.
