My guess:

the flip/flop op is nice if you are reading single lines, but you are swalling whole records, since you changed the $/ separator.

You either need to apply a multiline-regex or you re-open the record-string from IN to read line by line in order to apply the flip/flop. NB: It's possible to open from a scalar-ref \$chunk . °

Though most people would probably nest flip-flops:

• One to define the record
• a nested one to read the part you wanted.

TIMTOWTDI :)

°) doh, GrandFather's solution to simply split on "\n" is indeed easier! :)

Here a demonstration:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $count=0;


while (<DATA>) {
    if ( /^<13>/ .. /^END OF REPORT$/ ){
        if (/\*\sparameters after change\s\=/ .. /\*\sNRG location\s\=
+/) { 
            print "$count: $_";
        }
    } else {
        $count++
    }
}
